An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More)

In Old Chicago (released in some countries simply as "Chicago"), the 1938 Henry King Illinois historical big city disaster melodrama ("Never-To-Be-Forgotten! The screen unfolds its mightiest panorama of the struggle and triumph... The life and loves... The heartbreak and happiness... In one of the world's greatest metropolises...!"; "Based on a story by Niven Busch"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about two brothers, one "good" and one "very bad", and the two women they are involved with, and it is all set in the months leading up to the famous 1871 Chicago fire) starring Tyrone Power Jr., Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Alice Brady (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Andy Devine, Brian Donlevy, Madame Sul-Te-Wan, Phyllis Brooks, Tom Brown, Sidney Blackmer, Berton Churchill, June Storey, and Paul Hurst. Note that producer Darryl F. Zanuck reportedly wanted to hire Jean Harlow at MGM to star in this epic, but tragically, she passed away. But she was replaced with Alice Faye, and this was her big break that made her a major star.

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 to fine. 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).
