Lobby card for the 1923 film Puritan Passions, set in Salem, Massachusetts. The film, based on a popular play, was about the witchcraft hysteria in 1692. Note the Puritan at the top left hand corner of the card as a puppeteer. It was not a accident that the image resembles the devil. This film is also featured in the 3+ hour long documentary Woodlands Dark and Day Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror (2021).
