Auction History Result 5b1531 JOHN SMITH glass slide 1922 Eugene O'Brien looking at note attached to door! Date Sold 9/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) John Smith, the 1922 Victor Heerman silent Selznick crime prison romantic melodrama ("By Victor Heerman"; about a man who is sentenced to prison and upon his release takes the alias name "John Smith" due to his embarrassment and inability to find work; he falls in love with a beautiful young secretary, but cannot bring himself to tell her about his criminal past!) starring Eugene O'Brien (in the title role as John Smith), Vivia Ogden, William J. Ferguson, Tammany Young, Estar Banks and Mary Astor. Note that this was Mary Astor's first credited feature role (after several shorts and bit parts the previous year). She had just turned 16, and yet she played the secretary the lead actor falls in love with, and she is pictured on the one-sheet! Of course she would go on to a long and illustrious career, but THIS is where she got her start! Also note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

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). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: good. There is a crack in the top right corner of the front pane, but it is nowhere near the image. Learn More about condition grades
