the fire cracker mask
There are two theatre masks a happy face and a sad face. Overall theatres make hundreds of masks to suit the differant charactors.
Masks were an integral part of ancient Greek tragedy, and possibly comedy as well. Half-masks were used in the Commedia dell'arte's improvised performances, the character was thought to be inherent in the mask. Japanese Noh plays use very intricate masks that appear to change expression when he angle of the head changes. Though they are not masks, elaborate make-up in Kabuki and Bejing Opera serves a similar purpose.

Actors would use theatre's masks. Brown for men and white for women because women were not allowed to be actors. The masks had simple faces happy for comedic theatre shows and sad for tragic theatre masks.

The two masks actually refer to the performing arts. They originated with the ancient Greeks and their theatre, one stands for comedy, the other tragedy.
well the greeks used masks that showed mood.... they do tht today too
The men, as they were the only people allowed to be actors at the time. Intially at the birth of greek theatre there were only two characters, but that grew to three, with the addition of a chorus. The masks were used to help them project their voice to the back of the ampitheatre as well as the masks having expressions on them so they can be seen from the back too
The purpose of masks in Greek theatre was so that the audience could see the characters' faces from far away. The masks represented characters from history and mythology, who would be familiar to the audience.
