Auction History Result c013 DICK TRACY RETURNS glass slide '38 Byrd, serial Date Sold 8/9/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Dick Tracy Returns, the 1938 John English & William Witney detective crime mystery serial ("A Republic Serial in 15 Smashing Chapters"; "Based on Cartoon Strip by Chester Gould") starring Ralph Byrd (in the title role as Dick Tracy), Lynne Roberts, Charles Middleton, Jerry Tucker, Lee Ford, and John Merton. Note that this was the second Dick Tracy movie! It is surprising that it took six years for it to reach the screen in 1937's "Dick Tracy", but once it did, it proved very popular and was followed by three more serials over the next four years, and then after a four year break, the first Dick Tracy feature film was released, which again proved extremely popular, and there were three sequels to that. There were animated cartoons on TV in the 1950s and in 1990, Warren Beatty made a live action movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Chester Gould Important Added Info: Note that this glass slide features a great image of Ralph Byrd and his cartoon counterpart standing side by side shooting machine guns! 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: fine. This glass slide is in really excellent condition, and we feel that EVERY collector would be happy to own it. It IS possible it may have a MINOR defect or defects, but nothing at all significant. But we bet many dealers would call items in this grade "mint" or "near mint"! Learn More about condition grades
