Note that Mary Pickford was 34 years-old, and still playing teenage girls (just a couple years later, she would wisely give this up and switch to adult roles) AND The Black Pirate, the 1926 Albert Parker silent seafaring swashbuckling sailor adventure melodrama starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (in the title role as The Black Pirate), Billie Dove, Tempe Pigott, Mary Pickford, Anders Randolf, Donald Crisp, and Sam De Grasse.

Important Added Info: Note that this ad was removed from a movie magazine that was printed when these two movies first came out (they were both released by United Artists, which is why they are both advertised at the same time). There is printing on the reverse side of the ad, but we don't picture it, because it is surely of little interest. But this ad can be matted or framed for little money and makes a great inexpensive display! Condition: very good. The page was removed from a magazine. Learn More about condition grades
