An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Campus Confessions (released in England as "Fast Play"), the 1938 George Archainbaud college university basketball sports romantic comedy ("The brightest, fastest show of the season...!"; "Original Story and Screen Play by Lloyd Carrigan and Erwin Gelsey"; a wacky story of a college that has one great basketball player, but still loses every game because the rest of the team is dreadful, but then a rich student finds he can become popular if he can learn to play basketball, so he hires the great player to come to his father's mansion with the team, and the great player coaches them all!; they become good enough to win the championship, but then the great player is suspended for failing math, but then, in the championship game, in the third quarter, the great player is given an oral math exam, which he passes, and he goes into the game and scores 24 points in the fourth quarter and they win!) starring Betty Grable, Eleanore Whitney, William Henry, Fritz Feld, John Arledge, Thurston Hall, Richard Denning, and Hank Luisetti (real life college basketball player, playing himself and billed as "All-American Basketball Star"!). Obviously Paramount wanted to make the good use of real life basketball star Hank Luisetti, and they crafted the plot around him. They also top-billed pretty young starlettes Betty Grable and Eleanore Whitney, but neither one had a lot to do in the movie. The romantic lead was William Henry, and this could have been his "big break", but that didn't work out, although he continued on in small roles in many movies for decades! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a crack in the lower left corner of the front glass pane only (the back pane is not cracked). The crack is solely in the border area, extending into the lower left corner of the red. Otherwise the slide is in pretty nice condition. 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 slide, 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!
