Auction History Result f273 SUNNY SIDE UP glass slide'29 Janet Gaynor, Farrell Date Sold 9/20/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Sunny Side Up, the 1929 David Butler romantic love triangle rich-man/poor-girl musical comedy ("The screen's first original all talking, singing, dancing musical comedy"; "Original songs, story and dialog by De Sylva, Brown and Henderson"; "Dances staged by Seymour Felix"; "Hear Janet Gaynor sing"; "assisted by a star cast and a host of beautiful girls"; about a rich man with a fiancee who flirts with other men, and he accidentally bumps into a poor girl and brings her back to his mansion to make his fiancee jealous, but then he realizes it is the poor girl he loves) starring Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell, Sharon Lynn, El Brendel, Frank Richardson, and Marjorie White. Note that this plot was really old and tired, even in 1929, but the combination of the great appeal of the leads (Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor, both in their first talking picture), plus really fine music by the Broadway team of DeSylva, Brown and Henderson (who would go on to create many Fox musicals) made this movie a real "winner", even though neither of the leads could sing! Fox claimed that this was the first all-talking musical movie, and it may well be that. It also has many innovative musical sequences that surely inspired Busby Berkeley just a short time later at Warner Bros., and those who have seen it say this is an excellent movie, even today!

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: good. This glass slide has clear condition problems that causes it to be in less than "very good" condition. We do NOT describe those defects in words (UNLESS the defect is a crack in one or both panes of the glass, in which case we ALWAYS describe it elsewhere within the auction in words), and you can likely see some or all of them in the "large" and "super-sized" images we provide. If you are the sort who can accept a major defect, then you should bid on items in this condition grade, BUT PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THEIR VERY CLEAR DEFECTS!
