An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Charming Sinners, the 1929 Robert Milton romantic love triangle infidelity marriage melodrama ("Is this the new idea in marriage?"; from the story by W. Somerset Maugham; about a woman who discovers her husband is cheating on her with her best friend, and she does not get angry, but takes up with HIS best friend, which causes her husband to rethink matters and return to her) starring Ruth Chatterton, Clive Brook, William Powell, Mary Nolan, and Laura Hope Crews. Note that Ruth Chatterton had been a major star on Broadway who was brought to Hollywood to make sound movies, and she was that rare actress who was a top billed star from her very first movie! Also note that, as usual in his early roles, William Powell played the best friend who betrays his friend. It would not be for a couple more years before Powell began playing the romantic lead in movies, but once he did, he became a major star! Finally, note that this movie was made at the time when all studios were transitioning from silent movies to sound, and because there were still a lot of theaters that had not yet purchased sound equipment and were still showing silent movies, Paramount had the idea of making their new productions in both "sound" and "silent" versions, and they issued one-sheets for each version (with a notation at the bottom for which version it was).

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. Learn More about condition grades
