An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) Il Circo Della Morte (released in the U.S. as "The Masque of Life" and released in other English-speaking countries as "The Circus of Death"), the 1916 Alfred Lind Italian silent circus royalty romantic adventure melodrama ("The greatest of all screen thrills"; about a prince who falls in love with a circus girl and gets her pregnant, but when his father dies, he is told she and the child have died, so that he will marry a royal woman and avoid scandal; his infant son dies, and his girl joins a traveling circus and stars with a trained chimp and after many wild and preposterous events, the king renounces his crown and marries his girl!) starring Miss Evelyn, Rita Jolivet, Trude Nick, Hamilton Revelle, and Pete Montebello (billed as "Introducing Pete Montebello the chimpanzee star"). Note that this movie has a major role played by a chimpanzee, in his first movie. We were unable to find any information about this chimp, and the star, Miss Evelyn does not appear to have a second name and was only in two movies. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two heralds from this movie, and NO other movie paper, until we received this 8x10 lobby card! Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: good to very good. There is a pinhole in each corner. There is a burn mark near the center of the bottom border. There are a few faint stains and smudges scattered in the card.
