An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) California Straight Ahead, the 1925 Harry A. Pollard car-racing sports romantic screwball comedy (written "by Byron Morgan"; about a man who shows up late to his own wedding, is disowned by both families, and he goes on a cross country adventure, dragging a wedding bus, from which he sells meals to finance his trip, and he arrives in California just in time to save his former fiancee and her parents from wild animals who escaped from a circus, and he still manages to get to Los Angeles in time to drive his father-in-law's car in a big road race, which he naturally wins, and love triumphs as well!) starring Reginald Denny, Gertrude Olmstead, Tom Wilson (a large white man who specialized in playing black roles in the early silent days when studios were reluctant to hire African Americans; he would put burnt cork on his face and skin!; he appeared in The Kid, but not in a black role), Charles K. Gerrard, and Lucille Ward NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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
