The Master Mystery (first four episodes) was first shown at a special trade show on November 7, 1918 at the Strand Theatre in New York City.
To honor this special event, I shared the following 1918 Master Mystery Newspaper Reviews on the day they appeared 101 years ago:
- Sat Nov 9
- Sunday Nov 10
- Friday Nov 15
- Saturday Nov 16
- Saturday Nov 23
And as promised, today, I tie all the reviews together by sharing from my personal collection, this special broadside used to advertise “The Master Mystery” when it first came out:
Holy smokes!!! Where did you get that? I’ve never seen one of these. What a beauty.
Thanks! Got it from a magician on the East Coast.
Was this displayed in theater lobbies?
Possibly on the East Coast.
