New York show spotlights women’s contributions to the silent film era
NEW YORK — A major exhibition of lobby cards from the silent film era highlighting the untold stories of women’s contributions to the early film industry is on view at New York’s Poster House through October 9. Experimental Marriage: Women in Early Hollywood draws on a unique collection of posters and ephemera assembled by the Chicago-based collector Dwight M. Cleveland, who has spent nearly half a century accumulating what is believed to be the largest privately-held film poster archive in history. The exhibition marks the first time that these lobby cards, a recent addition to Cleveland’s collection, have been exhibited in a museum setting.
