A very nice tinted postcard ca. 1914 advertising J. D. Walker's World Film (a British distributor of Famous Players Film Co. titles whose founder would go on to become the "Wal" in Walturdaw, which distributed First National titles) and Mary's films Hearts Adrift (1914) and Tess of the Storm Country (1914,) both directed by Edwin S. Porter. The photo is by Sarony and shows Mary in the same dress (but not vase, or anything else) that she wears in the opening shot of Tess '14. Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.
Fantastic advertising card from 1914, love the beautiful image of Mary.
ReplyDeleteIt does feature a lovely photo indeed.
