An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Convention City was the 1933 Archie Mayo romantic love triangle all-star comedy ("With 10 great laff-stars!"; "For a lot of fun and some real laughs! Come and join us!"; Warner Bros packed this movie with lots of the actors they had under contract at this time, and part of the plot has Joan Blondell as a "hostess" for a hotel, employed to "entertain" convention goers; she is romanced by CEO Adolphe Menjou, but she really loves poor salesman Dick Powell) starring Joan Blondell, Adolphe Menjou, Dick Powell, Mary Astor, Guy Kibbee, Frank McHugh, Patricia Ellis, Ruth Donnelly, Hugh Herbert, and Grant Mitchell. The above brief plot summary is just a tiny portion of the "goings on" in this ultra salacious "pre-Code" movie. This was a movie that pushed the limits of what sexual situations could be shown or talked about to never before seen limits, and it is widely credited with being one of the main reasons the infamous Hays Code was so heavily enforced soon after! Note that sadly, all prints of this movie have been lost, and it has not been seen in many years. 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). Condition: very good to fine. 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 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
