An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Manhattan Melodrama, the classic 1934 W.S. Van Dyke New York romantic love triangle gangster crime melodrama ("Why was Broadway's most notorious gambler chosen as best man at the wedding of the District Attorney?"; "Was it true that she had been the gambler's sweetheart, too?"; about a very unusual romantic triangle between a gangster, his girlfriend, and the District Attorney; the gangster and the D.A. are lifelong pals; they both love the same girl; the D.A. convicts the gangster of murder, is elected Governor, then must decide whether to allow his best friend to be executed, especially since his wife loves the best friend more than he; they don't make 'em like that anymore!) starring Clark Gable, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Leo Carrillo, Nat Pendleton, Mickey Rooney, Isabel Jewell, and Muriel Evans. Note that this movie has an unusual distinction. John Dillinger was captured by the FBI, only because his girlfriend's roommate turned him in; she told the FBI she would get him to take her to a movie, and that she would be dressed in red; the movie they were seeing was "Manhattan Melodrama"!

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. 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
