Auction History Result 3t1221 CAT CREEPS glass slide 1930 Helen Twelvetrees, cool feline horror art, ultra rare! Date Sold 2/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Style 2 Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) The Cat Creeps ...While the Canary Sleeps, the 1930 Rupert Julian haunted house horror mystery thriller ("The thrilling chilling spooky melodrama"; "Weird, baffling, fascinating drama! Eerie excitement! Shivery suspense!"; "From a John Willard smashing stage hit") starring Helen Twelvetrees, Raymond Hackett, Lilyan Tashman, Jean Hersholt, Neil Hamilton, Matagu Love, Theodore Von Eltz, Lawrence Grant, Elizabeth Patterson, and Blance Freuerici. Note that this was an early sound remake (just three years later) of the 1927 silent movie, "The Cat and the Canary", which had been directed by Paul Leni. As was popular for a brief time in 1930 and 1931, it was simultaneously made in a Spanish language version, "La voluntad del muerto", with an entirely different cast (headed by Antonio Moreno and Lupita Tovar), just as a Spanish language version of "Dracula" was made the following year (also by Universal). Note that this is a "lost" film which means that only a few minutes of footage is thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that any movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned anything other than a lobby card, a herald, and six stills from this movie until we received this glass slide! Note that this is from an incredible collection of 76 glass slides that were recently discovered! Almost all of them are from 1931 to 1933 (with a very few from before and after). We are auctioning them in 76 separate auctions, and then there will be no more from this amazing find (except for a few duplicated ones, which we will auction at a later time). Not only are many wonderful titles included, but many of the slides are in remarkable condition, and quite a few of them do not have any showtimes or days of the week handwritten in the bottom area, and many likely look like they did when they were first sent to the theater! There have been several "finds" of glass slides over the many years we have been auctioning, but this is surely one of the greatest ever and it is a wonderful opportunity to purchase some or many of these extreme rarities! Also 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 to fine. Learn More about condition grades
