An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Cheaters at Play, the 1932 Hamilton MacFadden romantic jewel thief ocean voyage crime thriller ("Based on story by Louis Joseph Vance"; a ridiculously complicated story about a former master jewel thief who always worked alone, but who reformed, and he goes on a cruise, and there is a young man who steals massively expensive jewels, and the former thief catches him, but learns that the young man is his son, who is trying to imitate his father, and so he helps the son return the jewels and win the heart of the jewel owner's niece!) starring Thomas Meighan (as The Lone Wolf), Charlotte Greenwood, William Bakewell, Barbara Weeks, Linda Watkins, Olin Howland, James Kirkwood, and Ralph Morgan. Note that The Lone Wolf was a character in a series of eight novels that author Louis Joseph Vance wrote starting in 1914, and the first movie starring the character was in 1917, with Bert Lytell in the lead role. There were three movies after that with three different actors in the lead role. Then Lytell returned to the character, and there were many movies in a short period, and then Lytell starred in some sound movies as the character. In the 1940s, Warren William starred in a series of Lone Wolf movies, and then the character was played by Gerald Mohr. There were a few single entries mixed in where other actors played the lead role. In all, there were 24 Lone Wolf movies! The character was a master thief turned detective, and there were several other characters who were very similar, but few had the enduring popularity of The Lone Wolf!

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: fine. This glass slide is in really excellent condition, and we feel that EVERY collector would be happy to own it. It IS possible it may have a MINOR defect or defects, but nothing at all significant. But we bet many dealers would call items in this grade "mint" or "near mint"! Learn More about condition grades
