Auction History Result #108 OREGON TRAIL glass slide '36 John Wayne Date Sold 6/11/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Oregon Trail, the 1923 Edward Laemmle winning-of-the-West silent cowboy western serial ("Universal Chapter Play") starring Art Acord, Louise Lorraine, Duke R. Lee, Jim Corey, and Burton Law. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Also note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: very good. The cardboard holder has several minor stains, and the glass has some dust on it (which is almost surely easily removed). See below for a scan of the slide and a separate scan of the holder. Learn More about condition grades
