Note that Smiling Billy Mason was a vaudeville actor who went to Hollywood in 1912 and appeared in over 100 shorts and 6 feature movies. By 1920, his popularity was waning, and he returned to vaudeville. Interestingly, he wrote and starred in four very early baseball related movies in 1916 and 1917! If anyone knows more about Billy Mason, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet (and no other movie paper), and that was 19 years ago, and there is a good chance this is that same poster returning to us after all these years!
