An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Lost Special, the 1932 Henry MacRae railroad train mystery serial ("12 Chapters of Terrific Thrills and Mystery"; "From the story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Frank Albertson, Ernie Nevers, Cecilia Parker, Francis Ford, and J. Frank Glendon. Note that Ernie Nevers was a legendary football player in his day who appeared in four movies in cameo roles as football players. He was nicknamed "The One-Man-Team", and he once scored 40 points by himself in a single game (six touchdowns and four points after touchdowns), a record that has never been broken (and likely never will be). He was a charter member of the Football Hall of Fame, but he is sadly forgotten today. Note that for the first release of this serial, some items are credited to Universal, and some are credited to "Adventure Pictures", but the ones from Adventure Pictures are NOT from a re-release! This serial was made during the time when Universal was using Adventure Pictures as the production company for its serials. There are many such Universal/Adventure Pictures serials from 1925 to 1932. A collector tells us that Adventure Pictures was a wholly owned subsidiary that Universal used to distance themselves from the increasingly low-brow serials, and their desire to be viewed as a more high-end producer of features.

Important Added Info: 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. Learn More about condition grades
