*The Strange Story of Elsie Mason* survives as a motion picture poster, a form that filled American theater lobbies and storefronts in the 1910s, when studios and exhibitors relied on bold printed sheets to sell a title and a star. The record dates it only roughly to 191-, so the exact year of release is unconfirmed. Posters of this period typically promised melodrama, mystery, or suspense through one striking image and a catchy title, and this one follows that practice. Its survival is worth noting, since many early film posters were discarded once a run ended.
