The internanational symbol for drama
In ancient greek, where drama and the play were invented, men [not woman] would use masks in costume for their production. The famous happy looking mask and sad mask orgiginated from this in a production line from one of the first ever plays.

Thalia is the muse of Comedy in greek drama and is shown as a laughing mask and Melpomene is the muse of tragedy and is shown as a crying mask.
