An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Little Big Shot, the 1935 Michael Curtiz orphan romantic crime comedy ("The biggest little star of them all!"; about a pair of sidewalk con men who end up with custody of a girl whose parents were killed, and they get a pretty hat check girl to help look after her; they want to put her in an orphanage, but she helps them run their con games, to the disapproval of the hat check girl, but then she is kidnapped by other crooks, and one of the con men nobly risks his life to rescue her, and after they do, he settles down with the hat check girl, and they marry and adopt the little girl, and open a roadside cafe!) starring Sybil Jason, Glenda Farrell, Robert Armstrong, Edward Everett Horton, and Jack La Rue. Note that Sybil Jason was born in South Africa, but was a singing and dancing child prodigy in England from the age of 2. When she was 6, Jack Warner saw her perform, and signed her to a contract hoping she could be a child star for Warner Bros. to equal Shirley Temple at 20th Century-Fox. However, after a few movies, including starring opposite Al Jolson in "The Singing Kid", she did not deliver the hoped for results, and Warner Bros. did not renew her contract in 1938. Daryl Zanuck signed her at 20th Century-Fox, putting her with Shirley Temple in "The Little Princess". She was supposed to have a major role in "The Blue Bird", opposite Shirley Temple, but most of her scenes were cut from the movie (perhaps because it was feared she would "upstage" Shirley Temple, who was "getting old"!), and she "retired". In 1947, at the age of 18, she married a Navy man, and they had a child and were married for 58 years until his passing in 2006, and she passed away in 2011 at the age of 83!

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). 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. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates section at the bottom of the glass. Otherwise, the cardboard holder has staining around the staples, but the glass slide itself is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
