Few silent-era lobby cards carry the reputation of this one, which advertises *The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse*, the 1921 film that made Rudolph Valentino a leading man. Directed by Rex Ingram and adapted from Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's novel about an Argentine family caught between Europe and the First World War, the picture is remembered for its dramatic scenes and Valentino's tango. Lobby cards like this one were displayed in theater lobbies to promote a film's stars and scenes, and the movie's success helped establish the screen image of the romantic Latin lover.
