No, no, no. This is a movie poster (how many turn-of-the-century
stage productions do you know about which made, at the very least,
movie-style one and three sheets - that are still available in
quantity a hundred years later?). It has to be from a movie (all the
ones I've ever seen have come from movie poster collections, not
theatre poster collections). As I mentioned, I used to know which
movie this was supposedly from (but have since forgotten - and there
were about a billion early film versions of the Passion Play). If I
had to guess, I'd say the film's probably the 1898 short version (not
the 1898 Edison version, the foreign one - which would explain the
lack of credits, etc...), but the poster's probably later (teens or
twenties, perhaps for some kind of rural 4-walling or roadshow). In
any case, far too many of them have survived for it to be 110 years
old (I even have one in my collection). Although, being an
other-company kinda poster, we may never know what the real case
is... Definitely an odd-ball piece...
Doesn't anyone here collect silent posters?...
Cheers,
