An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Ladies of the Jury, the 1932 Lowell Sherman courtroom juror legal lawyer mystery crime comedy ("Plead Guilty! It's a pleasure!"; "The jury's fixed! You can't lose! Laugh and like it as year's merriest trial goes into session today!"; "All-star jury of greatest comedians puts you in for an hour of howling hilarity!"; "Fun from the first bang of the gavel... Verdict of guilty for old man gloom!"; "Screen's giddiest comedians sit in judgment... write laughter into court records... witnesses howl in glee!"; "From the story by Fred Ballard"; about a chorus girl who is on trial for murdering her elderly husband, and the case seems open and shut, but when it goes to the jury, an elderly Boston matron from a fine family is the only one to vote innocent, and then one by one she convinces the other jurors to join her, until finally, at the film's climax, the verdict of 'not guilty' is brought in) starring Edna May Oliver, Roscoe Ates (billed as "Rosco Ates"; both Oliver and Ates billed as "'Cimarron's' great comedians"; "Rampaging comedians of 'Cimarron'"), Jill Esmond ("Lovely new star"), Ken Murray ("Radio-vaudeville favorite"), and Kitty Kelly. Note that if you have seen movies like 12 Angry Men from 1957, you may have thought that at that time, and prior to that time, only men were allowed to serve on juries. But actually, that was only true of federal juries, and each of the states had their own legislation on it, so it was not fiction that a woman would be serving on a 1932 jury. It also seems a certainty that 12 Angry Men's author, Reginald Rose, saw this movie, and that it served as his inspiration for 12 Angry Men, because the plot of both movies is remarkably similar, although surprisingly, this movie was a comedy!

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 theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the playdates section at the bottom of the glass. Otherwise, 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). Learn More about condition grades
