Description

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Paramount-Artcraft, 1920). Window Card (14" X 20"). John Barrymore was already considered one of the greatest actors in the world when he was cast in the dual role of Dr. Jekyll and his evil "other half" Mr. Hyde. The role would further his legend as Barrymore was able to transform "seamlessly" into Hyde. Poster material for this early horror film is exceptionally scarce. This example shows very minor wear to the edges although the upper two inches of the playdate area have been trimmed off. This is a stone litho card and the image of Barrymore as a shadowy Hyde would become a common motif used on other posters for the remakes of this early classic. Fine.
