Ira L. Hill - Theatre Handouts

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.

4 1/8" x 7 1/4" Plaisance Theatre (Austin) handout featuring a painting of a portrait of Mary by Ira L. Hill and advertising a showing of The Poor Little Rich Girl(1917) on Sunday-Monday, April 15-16, 1917.

The Eagle's Mate - herald - 1914

The Eagle's Mate / Famous Players herald. 1914. Additionally stamped “Central Hall Sat May 22 1915.”  The May 22, 1915 issue of The Sea Cliff / Glen Cove News reported,  “To-night. Mary Pickford in ‘The Eagle’s Mate’ will be the 10 and 15 cent attraction at Central Hall,” so I think it is safe to assume this piece is from that screening. 

The Eagles Mate (1914) - Lobby card copyprint

The Eagle's Mate (1914) lobby card copyprint. I am not sure from when this piece originates. It is marked Culver Service on verso which doesn't mean a whole lot other than it existed prior to 1960.
