Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 216

While amassing a massive Ann Dvorak collection since 1998, I have also managed to put together a respectable amount of items relating to her mother, Anna Lehr, who was a silent film actress from 1912 though the mid 1920s. Since Lehr’s career is limited to early silents, it’s not easy to memorabilia from her films, so I am rather proud of what I have been able to scrounge up.

Lehr’s most notable film is probably Laughing Bill Hyde, which was Will Rogers’ film debut. My understanding is that this is a “lost” film, so all that remains are photos like this one.
