An Original Vintage Theatrical Style B Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Blue Eagle, the 1926 John Ford silent World War I (WWI) Navy Naval boxing romantic love triangle drug smuggling crime melodrama ("A fighting drama of adventure, courage, loyalty and strength on the high seas"; "From the story 'The Lord's Referee' by Gerald Beaumont"; about two Irish best friends who are sailors in WWI, and they compete for the same girl; after they get out, they both get into law enforcement and are trying to catch drug smugglers, and they still fight over the girl, and their local priest gets them to settle their differences in the boxing ring, with the winner likely winning the girl too!) starring George O'Brien, Janet Gaynor, Margaret Livingston, William Russell, David Butler, Robert Edeson, Ralph Sipperly, and Jerry Madden (billed as "Jerry the Giant"). Note that Jerry Madden had a small part in a 1925 movie, and then starred in "Jerry the Giant", a William Fox comedy short. He made a total of five of these shorts between 1926 and 1927, when Madden was between 3 and 4 years old. He also co-starred with Tom Mix in a 1927 movie! We don't know why Madden had this nickname, but we do know that as he became an older boy, he only had minor parts, and he had six roles in the 1930s, before he left movies. However, he lived all the way until 2009, when he passed away at the age of 85. If anyone knows more about Jerry Madden, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

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 to fine. 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 glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images). Learn More about condition grades
