Auction History Result 5b1522 GOING TO CONGRESS glass slide 1924 wonderful full-length portrait of dapper Will Rogers! Date Sold 9/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Going to Congress, the 1924 Rob Wagner silent political government satirical comedy short (produced by Hal Roach; about a naive boob who is hand picked to run for congress, specifically because they feel that he can be "handled", but he turns the tables on his handlers) starring Will Rogers, Molly Thompson, Marie Mosquini, William Gillespie, and Charlie Hall. Note that if this plot summary sounds familiar, it is because Frank Capra used a much expanded version of it in 1939's "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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). Note that the glass slides we are offering this week are from a different company than the many other glass slides we sold in previous weeks. These also measure close to 3" x 4" (they are 3 1/4" x 4"), and they also have cardboard holders, but these have square corners whereas the ones from the other company have rounded corners. Most of these are marked "Excelsior Illustrating Co.", and they are made in the U.S.A. as well. Apparently this was a competing company that only made slides for a certain amount of time, and the slides from this company are apparently far more rare than those of the other company. But in almost every other way, except for the slight shape difference, these slides are virtually identical to the other glass slides in cardboard containers that we have sold in the past. 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
