An Original Vintage Theatrical Style A Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More)

Murders in the Zoo, the 1933 A. Edward Sutherland romantic horror mystery crime murder thriller (about an insanely jealous husband who is a wealthy zoologist, and any man who comes close to his wife ends up killed by the animals in a zoo, several in really gruesome ways, but ultimately, the man becomes a victim of his own animals!) starring Charles Ruggles, Lionel Atwill, Gail Patrick, Randolph Scott (in an early credited role), Kathleen Burke, and John Lodge. Note that male lead John Lodge has an interesting background! He came from an important New England family (his grandfather was William Henry Cabot Lodge), and he shocked them by becoming a movie actor! He appeared in a couple dozen movies between 1932 and 1940. He quit the movies to serve in World War II, and afterwards, in 1946, he became the second major movie actor ever to hold national political office, serving as a Congressman (the first was Helen Gahagan Douglas). In 1950, he became Governor of Connecticut, and later, he served as ambassador to several countries!

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 theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the playdates section at the bottom of the glass. Otherwise, the cardboard holder has staining around the staples, but the glass slide itself is in pretty nice condition!
