An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Food for Scandal, the 1920 James Cruze silent San Francisco California romantic comedy melodrama ("From the play 'Beverly's Balance' by Paul Kester"; about an orphaned woman from a formerly rich family who goes to San Francisco and gets a job in a chorus line, where she becomes known as "The Kissing Girl", which causes her straight-laced attorney boyfriend to break up with her, but everything works out in the end) starring Wanda Hawley, Harrison Ford (obviously, not the same Harrison Ford that we know as an actor today, but a very popular leading man of the 1920s), Ethel Grey Terry, Margaret McWade, Lester Cuneo, and Minnie Devereaux. Note that Lester Cuneo had been a major comedy star at the Selig Studio in 1912, but after just a few movies, he chose to re-invent himself as a cowboy star, and had success there as well, also playing dramatic roles at the same time. He served in World War I (WWI), and returned to Hollywood and again began making westerns, playing a character billed as "The Smiling Daredevil". But by the early 1920s, his westerns were less and less successful, and after a series of personal and professional failures, Cuneo could not get any parts at all, and he committed suicide in 1925. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: very good.
