Auction History Result 8v072 TOM BROWN OF CULVER glass slide '32 William Wyler, cadet learns the shocking truth about dad Date Sold 12/6/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Tom Brown of Culver, the 1932 William Wyler military academy soldier juvenile cadet melodrama (about a boy whose father died an received the Congressional Medal of Honor, and he gets a scholarship to a military academy, and then he learns that his father was actually a deserter!) starring Tom Brown, Slim Summerville, Richard Cromwell, H.B. Warner, Andy Devine, Russell Hopton, Ben Alexander, Sidney Toler, Willard Robertson, and Betty Blythe. Note that 17 year old Tyrone Power has a bit part as one of the soldiers, no doubt because his father was great friends with director William Wyler, but he did not get noticed and he went to Broadway, but returned a few years later and became a giant star. Finally, note that the star of the movie is Tom Brown, and his character is named the same, and the movie itself has his name in it, and yet he was not a major star, and was not even a minor star, and was not in his first role, so we have no idea why this occurred. 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: 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. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates 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! Learn More about condition grades
