This lantern slide proof advertises *The Devil's Garden*, a silent film starring Lionel Barrymore, the stage and screen actor who was part of the famous Barrymore acting family. Before feature films were routinely promoted through print and broadcast media, theaters projected slides like this one between screenings to announce coming attractions and sell tickets. The slide carries a copyright notice for Novelty Slides, Inc., a company that produced such advertising, and the Library of Congress record dates it to around 1920, though that date comes from an unverified caption card.
