Original silent film era advertising card featuring actress Lillian Walker on the front and a complete weekly program for The Colonial Theatre on the reverse.
The reverse is the highlight of this piece, listing an entire week's attractions from January 22-28 and featuring several notable stars of the silent screen, including Charlie Chaplin, Billie Burke, Madame Petrova, Theodore Roberts, Blanche Sweet, and Clara Kimball Young.
Unlike common actress postcards, this example survives as a theater advertising and program card, providing a fascinating snapshot of American movie-going during the silent film era.
An excellent addition to collections of silent film memorabilia, Charlie Chaplin material, movie theater advertising, early Hollywood, cinema history, and vintage entertainment ephemera.
All postcards are shipped in a clear acid-free handling sleeve and a stiff mailer.
