An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) The Toll Gate, the 1920 Lambert Hillyer silent cowboy western ("By William S. Hart and Lambert Hillyer"; like all William Hart movies, this has a very complicated plot about an outlaw who has a gang that has successfully eluded the law for three years, and he plans to retire, but his right hand man insists on pulling one last job, and when they do, that man betrays him and turns him in for the reward; but the army was once greatly helped by the outlaw, so they let him escape, and he spends the rest of the movie tracking down the man who betrayed him, who has joined with Mexican outlaws, so the outlaw joins with a posse seeking the man who betrayed him, and they manage to defeat the Mexicans and at the climax, he gets his revenge) starring William S. Hart, Anna Q. Nilsson, Joseph Singleton, Jack Richardson, and Richard Headrick. Note that there are many elements in this movie that were "borrowed" in later classic westerns (when the gang is betrayed, they rob a train, and the army is hiding in the train waiting to catch them, which was reused in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", and the scenes of Hart against the Mexican outlaws is very similar to "The Magnificent Seven"). Finally, note that the posters for this movie had a quote from William S. Hart that says "This is the first of my own productions - Wm. S. Hart", but he had actually been producing his own movies for several years, so we don't know why they would put that, unless it was just a case of outright lying!

Important Added Info: The slide does not have a cardboard holder, but rather there is black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of older glass slides. We have provided both a high quality scan of the image and also a separate image of how the glass slide looks, but in that digital image, you can really just see the outline of the slide and defects (if any) around the edges. 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. The slide does not have a cardboard holder, but rather there is black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of older glass slides. The slide has some wear on the black tape, but is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
