Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (released in English-speaking countries as "Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler" and "Dr. Mabuse, King of Crime"), the 1922 Fritz Lang German silent gambling crime thriller (based on the novel by Norbert Jacques; about a criminal mastermind in Germany who runs all of the various crime syndicates there; in this movie, he has a scheme to make a fortune by rigging the Stock Exchange, and as part of his plan, he gets into an expensive card game with a very rich man, and intentionally loses to him; he is a master of disguise, and in one of his disguises, he is a magician at a cabaret, amazing the audience with his illusions) starring Rudolf Klein-Rogge (in the title role as Dr. Mabuse), Alfred Abel, Aud Egede Nissen, Gertrude Welcker, and Bernhard Goetzke. This movie was so long (over 5 hours), that it was only rarely released as one movie, and far more often it was split into two parts (the second part was called "Dr. Mabuse, Inferno des Verbrechens"). Note that Fritz Lang made this wonderful movie in 1922. In 1933, he resurrected the character in a sound movie, "Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse", and he simultaneously made the movie in French as "Le Testament du Dr. Mabuse" (Lang was fluent in French, but most of the actors were not, so those actors were replaced by French actors, except for Rudolf Klein-Rogge, and because he could not speak French, his lines were dubbed, because he was essential to the movies). The movie was banned in Germany by Joseph Goebbels, who felt it reflected poorly on Germany, and because of this, its world premiere was held in Budapest. After making this movie, Lang left Germany, first for France, where he made Liliom, and then to America, where he stayed and made many memorable movies.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Also note that we have provided an image of all the pages of this 4-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and the interior two pages together). This way, you see the entire program, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended).
