Auction History Result 9t0740 GRASS glass slide 1925 pre-King Kong Merian Cooper & Schoedsack documentary, ultra rare! Date Sold 9/28/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life, the 1925 Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B.Schoedsack silent Iran cattle herd documentary ("Featuring fifty thousand people"; "Half a million cattle") featuring Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack, Marguerite Harrison, Haidar Khan, and Lufta. Note that this is a legendary documentary, not so much for what it shows (although it apparently was an excellent documentary!), but because it was created by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B.Schoedsack. Schoedsack had created some documentaries in the late 1910s, but his career really took off when he joined with Cooper for this movie. The acclaim this movie received led them to film another documentary, Chang, two years later. The success of that documentary led to Cooper becoming a producer at RKO, and after several very successful movies that he produced and Schoedsack directed, including The Four Feathers and The Most Dangerous Game, the pair teamed up for one of the most successful movies of all time, King Kong, in 1933. It is unlikely that much movie paper was created for this, their first documentary, and any movie paper from it is incredibly scarce! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, movie paper from this documentary is incredibly rare. Other than a group of 8 stills that sold for $439, we had NEVER auctioned anything from this movie (it is surely one of the most difficult movies there is to find any first release items from!). Also 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: very good. Learn More about condition grades
