Wilbert Willis Holley or Mel-Roy (American 1888-1966) became best known for his radio performances as the psychic “Mental Mystic” where people would send him letters, along with the required payment, for him to answer on the air. He received as much as 17,000 letters a day and eventually had to stop due to the stress.

This 3-sheet poster advertises his traveling show, which he started in 1934 after retiring from radio
