Verner, Jeanne. Rush Ling Toy?s Mask. New York: Jeanne Verner, ca. 1940. Fine handmade papier-mache mask crafted and painted with lifelike realism by Verner for George P. Reuschling for use in his act as Rush Ling Toy, an Asian magician of the vaudeville and nightclub era. Height approximately 10?. Chips around eyes, else very good. Rare. Jeanne Verner created and painted these life-like masks for a handful of New York magicians, including Cardini. Each mask was made to order. Despite their outwardly fragile nature and appearance, several were used in regular vaudeville-type performances by working professionals, including Mike Bornstein, Faucett Ross, and Jeanne?s own husband, Dai Vernon.
