Arthemus Ward "Art" Acord (April 17, 1890 – January 4, 1931) was an American silent film actor and rodeo champion. After his film career ended in 1929, Acord worked in rodeo road shows and as a miner in Mexico.

Early life and career

Acord was born to Mormon parents, Valentine Louis and Mary Amelia Accord (née Petersen) in Glenwood, Utah. As a young man, Acord worked as a cowboy and ranch hand. He won the World Steer Wrestling (Bulldogging) Championship at the Pendleton Round-up in 1912 and repeated as champion in 1916, defeating challenger and friend Hoot Gibson.

Acord was one of the few cowboys to have ridden the acclaimed bucking horse Steamboat (who later inspired the bucking horse logo on the Wyoming license plate) for the full eight seconds. His rodeo skills had been sharpened when he worked for a time for the Miller Brothers' traveling 101 Ranch Wild West Show. It was with the 101 that he became friends with Tom Mix, Yakima Canutt, Bee Ho Gray, "Broncho Billy" Anderson and Hoot Gibson. He was sometimes called the "Mormon cowboy". He went on to become a noted actor in silent Western films. Accord also performed as a stunt man. He made over 100 film shorts, most of which are now considered lost.

Acord enlisted in the United States Army in World War I and served overseas. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre for bravery. At war's end, he returned to the motion picture business, appearing in a series of popular film shorts and as "Buck Parvin", the title character for a Universal Pictures serial. Because of a heavy drinking problem and his inability to adapt to the advent of talkies, Acord's film career declined and he ended up performing in road shows and mining in Mexico.[1] In March 1928 Acord was seriously burned in an explosion at his home; the loss of his sight was feared.[2]

Personal life

Acord was married three times. His first marriage was to actress Edythe Sterling in 1913. They divorced in 1916. In 1920, he married former actress Edna May Nores. Nores filed for divorce in April 1924 citing physical abuse and infidelity. The divorce was finalized the following year.[3][4] His third marriage was to actress Louise Lorraine on April 14, 1926. The couple divorced in June 1928.[5]

Death

On January 4, 1931, Acord died in a Chihuahua, Mexico hospital shortly after consuming poison. He was depressed and told the doctor who treated him shortly before he died that he had intentionally taken poison because he wanted to die.[6][7] His body was sent back to California by train.[8] He was given a military funeral with full honors and was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.[9]

For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Acord has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1709 Vine Street.[10]
