An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Taxi!, the 1932 Roy Del Ruth New York City taxi driver romantic crime melodrama ("Our hats off to James Cagney for another marvelous characterization in 'Taxi!'"; adapted from the play by Kenyon Nicholson; "Adaptation and Dialogue by Kubec Glamson & John Bright"; Cagney is an independent cab driver, and a mob controlled large company wants to push all the independents out of business, and Cagney seeks revenge after they kill his brother; his beautiful girlfriend is played by young and sexy Loretta Young) starring James Cagney, Loretta Young, George E. Stone, Guy Kibbee, Leila Bennett, and Dorothy Burgess. Note that this is the movie that includes the famous scene where taxi driver Cagney speaks Yiddish to a Jewish customer (although Irish, Cagney had grown up on the streets of New York, and he could speak fluent Yiddish)!

We have never auctioned anything other than two lobby cards, a window card, several stills, and a glass slide from this movie until we received this second 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: fair to good. Something happened with the coloring of the slide, and it is uneven in Cagney's forehead. There are also scratches and scuffs in Cagney's face, but otherwise, the slide is in nice condition. Maybe it can be cleaned or restored, but likely only by a professional or talented amateur, so bear this in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
