An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Red Hair, the 1928 Clarence G. Badger silent romantic comedy (based on the novel "by Elinor Glyn"; about a manicurist who wants to find a rich husband, and when her boyfriends find out she is just a gold digger, they tell her off at a fancy party, and she responds by throwing down the jewels and fancy gown she was given, and jumping in a swimming pool!) starring Clara Bow (as Bubbles McCoy, "a cute little cuticle cutter"), Lane Chandler, William Austin, Jacqueline Gadsden, and Lawrence Grant. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that only fragments of the film are thought to exist (including the only surviving footage of Clara Bow in Technicolor). Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

Important Added Info: Note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: fair. There is deterioration in the bottom right of the play dates area, slightly extending into the very bottom of the image. There are some smudges and stains on the front and back of the glass. Learn More about condition grades
