I saw this meme a while ago, and have felt the urge ever since to Caligari-fy it.

1926 New Yorker magazine illustration and advertisement for the silent horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, to be featured at the Fifth Avenue Playhouse on 66 Fifth Avenue in NYC. The illustration reads, "The very rotund and kindly-looking old gentleman can be seen at the Fifth Avenue Playhouse. He is about to waken his friend, who will stretch a bit and go out and commit a murder or two." ;D The advertisement reads, "The U.F.A. Masterpiece, with a delightful program including a Chaplin revival." https://archive.org/details/sim_the-new-yorker_1926-11-13_2_39/mode/2up

As announced in the previous post, here are the photos of the pamphlet of the film Danton (1921).

Front row, from left, Westermann (Eduard von Winterstein), Camille (Ossip Runitsch), Danton (Emil Jannings) and Hérault (Ferdinand von Alten)

From left, Fouquier-Tinville (Friedrich Kühne), Saint-Just (Robert Scholz) and Robespierre (Werner Krauss)

Babette (OC in the film played by Hilde Wörner and not related to Elisabeth Le Bas), Danton, Camille, and Hérault

And this is the cover (Camille, Danton, and Babette):

I found it on eBay about a year ago. I can't read Danish, but I got it because documents on this film are rare. (I used Google Translate to read the text, which was more about the historical Danton's life than about the film).

There are problems with historical accuracy (as I mentioned before), but I am fascinated by the dark romantic images in this film, influenced by German Expressionism.
