The Western Silent Films Lobby Cards Collection

[Henry]

If memory serves me better than usual, in "Day for Night," Truffaut's
director character has a recurring dream that concerns a lobby card.

"The Western Silent Films Lobby Cards Collection consists of 106  
printed items used to promote silent and western films; most of the  
materials in the collection date between 1910 and 1930. These lobby  
cards and publicity fliers include both photographic and artistic  
renderings of scenes and characters from the films being publicized,  
and often prominently display the names of actors and film studios.  
Lobby cards were introduced in the 1910s to complement movie posters  
and were designed for display in the lobbies or foyers of movie  
theaters. These eponymous artifacts were intended to lure pedestrians  
into the theater by advertising dramatic, key scenes from the movie  
or highlighting popular actors."
