Cinderella - Die cut Ad - 1914

 

A rather scarce Cinderella die-cut ad from 1914, additionally stamped for a March 12 NEW Theatre screening in a city unknown, issued by the Famous Players Film Company. What is most interesting and somewhat amusing is, yes, it shows Mary as Cinderella, but also as Queen Anna Victoria from her now-lost film Such a Little Queen (1914.) In any event, I am uncertain just which Famous Players films made use of similar advertising, but I can say that I have also seen die-cuts for Poor Little Peppina (1916) and Madame Butterfly (1915.) 

And redundantly, an ad for an ad. This scan comes from an issue of Moving Picture World magazine and is not part of the collection.

Mary Pickford / United Artists Promotional Hand Fan ca. 1920s

Die-cut Mary Pickford / United Artists promotional hand fan with wood handle, produced, we can assume, by Josep Germa (Sabadell, Spain) to advertise Anis del Taup anisette -- evidently, the preference for people of good taste. The front features a nice photo of Mary by Campbell Studio framed and surrounded by a floral design. ca. 1920s.

Poor Little Peppina (1916) - Moody - Imperial Theatre Handout - 1916

5" x 7" Imperial Theatre (city unknown at this time) handout featuring a portrait of Mary by Moody and advertising a week-long run of Poor Little Peppina beginning on Sunday, March 5, 1916. I also have another print of this photo in a brown paper folder.

The Eagle's Mate (1914) - Ira L. Hill - Princess Theatre Handout - 1919

4 1/8" x 7 1/4" Princess Theatre (city unknown at this time) handout featuring a painting of a portrait of Mary by Ira L. Hill and advertising a showing of The Eagle's Mate (1914) on Monday-Tuesday, March 10-11, 1919. It's interesting to see that film still making the rounds nearly 5 years later.

Pompeian Beauty Panel - Calendar / Advertisement - 1917 - 1918

Mini Pompeian Beauty Panel 1917-1918 Calendar and Advertisement for larger art panel (front and back.) 1917. Along with the 1923 panel, donated to MPF.

Lorenz Theatre Handout - Photo by Moody - 1916

Excessively large brown paper folder (10.75"x14" unfolded,) with a small 5"x7" printed photo by Moody tipped-in, compliments of the Lorenz Theatre once located in Bethlehem, PA. I would assume it is from 1916 based on another print (additionally marked with Poor Little Peppina advertising) in the collection.
