An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Little Wild Girl, the 1928 Frank S. Mattison silent Canada romantic love triangle melodrama ("A Hercules Production"; a wild story of a playwright and a songwriter who vacation in the Canadian Northwest, and they both fall in love with a beautiful French Canadian girl, and after a fire kills her father and her boyfriend, they bring her back to New York, where she becomes a Broadway star, but it turns out her boyfriend was only badly burned, and ultimately, she ends up back home with him, and he is fully recovered) starring Lila Lee, Cullen Landis, Bud Shaw, Frank Merrill, Boris Karloff (who is 5th billed!), Sheldon Lewis, Jimmy Aubrey, and Cyclone (the German Shepherd dog!). Note that Boris Karloff had been appearing in movies since 1919, but with very limited success (he had few credited roles, and he often played exotic parts like pirates or Indians). This was one of his first credited roles! Also note that Cyclone the Dog was a German Shepherd that was apparently intended to be Pathe's answer to Rin-Tin-Tin, but he only appeared in this movie and in "The Yellow Cameo", made the same year. We do not know why his career was so limited (perhaps he retired to "pursue other interests" or to "spend more time with his family"!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: fine. This glass slide is in really excellent condition, and we feel that EVERY collector would be happy to own it. It IS possible it may have a MINOR defect or defects, but nothing at all significant. But we bet many dealers would call items in this grade "mint" or "near mint"! Learn More about condition grades
