TWO LOVERS 1926 Ronald Colman, Vilma Banky TRADE ADVERT

Original U.S. 12 1/4 inch x 9 inch Trade Advertisement for the 1928 Fred Niblo Romance TWO LOVERS, based on the novel “Leatherface” by Baroness Emmuska Orczy and starring Ronald Colman, Vilma Banky, Noah Beery Sr., Nigel De Brulier and Virginia Bradford.

Another of Goldwyn's successful pairings of Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky, Two Lovers was the last of their co-starring assignments. Set during the 16th-century Spanish occupation of Flanders, the story concentrates on the fiercely patriotic Mark Van Ryke (Colman). Donning the guise of "Leatherface," a swashbuckling masked avenger, Van Ryke performs his derring-do on behalf of the Prince of Orange (Nigel de Brulier). Naturally, Van Ruke considers beautiful Spanish aristocrat Donna Leonora de Vargas (Vilma Banky) to be a bitter enemy, and the feeling is mutual. To no one's surprise, however, Van Rykeand Donna Leonara eventually fall in love (hence the title). The pulse-pounding climax finds Van Ryke riding hell-for-leather through a rainstorm to warn the Flemish troops about the Spaniards' plans to burn the city of Ghent to the ground.
