An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Smile Please, the 1924 Roy Del Ruth silent romantic photography crime comedy short ("Mack Sennett's Latest and Greatest Comedy find Harry Langdon and the 1924 Bathing Girls in 'Smile Please'"; "Lillies of the Alley."; produced by Mack Sennett) starring Harry Langdon, Jack Cooper (not to be mistaken for Jackie Cooper, the famous juvenile actor in the 1920s and 1930s! Jack Cooper was an English actor from the 1910s to the 1940s who worked in the U.S. and was featured in Hal Roach and Mack Sennett movies in the 1920s), Madeline Hurlock, Jackie Lucas, Alberta Vaughn, and Cameo the dog. Note that the three-sheet poster for this movie has a great stone litho image of photographer Harry standing in front of an early 1920s camera, taking a family portrait of a husband, wife, child, and dog. Also note that, in an odd twist of fate, Harry Langdon's son, Harry Langdon, Jr., is a world renowned celebrity photographer, and is described on his website as being "a modern day Michelangelo and master craftsman with the camera". One wonders if the younger Langdon got his inspiration for entering his profession from this movie of his father's! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: fair to good. The front blank pane is missing, as is all the tape. There is slight staining around the edges. One could certainly replace the missing pane and the missing tape. Learn More about condition grades
