Date Sold 6/4/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Play Poster (measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Who is the Masked Dancer?, the 1920s poster. It is possible that this was for a play called The Masked Dancer or the 1924 film The Masked Dancer, but recent research indicates that it is likely promoting the 1920 film On With the Dance starring Mae Murray. We found a strange marketing campaign in many 1920 newspapers where the phrase "Who is the Masked Dancer" was added multiple times between articles and in the classifieds. This made searching rather difficult because of the many results. However, we finally found helpful theater ads. Apparently a gimmick at some theaters was to have a "personal appearance of The Masked Dancer" in person before the movie. Ads would say "Who is the masked dancer? Who is the masked dancer? Ask Mae Murray". While we cannot be 100% certain, we believe that this is a teaser poster for On With the Dance. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a group of recently discovered stage play and movie posters from the 1920s, which are being auctioned now, each in their own separate auction. Each of the posters is unfolded, but all have varying degrees of damage around the edges (see our individual condition description of each). All can be professionally linenbacked and restored, but we wanted to offer them unrestored, both so that the bidders could see exactly what condition each poster is in, and also so that the high bidder of each poster could choose the restorer of their choice, plus decide how much restoration each poster should have! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. There are tears and areas of paper loss scattered down the left border, extending into the background at the bottom left. There is an 8" tear in the right of the top border that extends through the "O" of "WHO". There are a few tears in the other borders. Since there is very little paper loss that is not blank white or solid black or tan paper, this will be a relatively easy linenbacking and restoration! Learn More about condition grades
