An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4") (Learn More) Illicit, the 1931 Archie Mayo pre-Code romantic living-in-sin melodrama (as relevant today as it was 78 years ago, about a couple who refuses to marry because they are afraid that marriage will ruin their relationship, but they give in to social pressure and do marry, and their relationship IS ruined, and they decide to separate and go back to how they were!) starring Barbara Stanwyck (in her fourth credited movie role!), Charles Butterworth, James Rennie, Ricardo Cortez, Joan Blondell (in her fifth movie role!), and Natalie Moorhead. Note that you may not have heard of male lead James Rennie, but he was a major silent star who also appeared on Broadway, but surprisingly, his career went downhill after the advent of sound, and he was quickly reduced to character roles. He was also married to Dorothy Gish for 15 years! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: ARE YOU UNFAMILIAR WITH GLASS SLIDES? Many collectors are not familiar with them, because they are incredibly rare, and are rarely offered for sale. Click HERE for a brief history of what they are and what they were used for. Note that we have provided two images at right for this glass slide. The first image is a high quality scan of just the image area of the slide that shows what it looks like with light shining through it (as it was originally seen when displayed). The second image is a photograph of the entire glass slide (including either the cardboard holder or black tape around the edges, depending on the type of glass slide it is). Clicking on either image will open a new browser window with larger, high quality versions of both images. Condition: good to very good. the glass slide itself is in good to very good condition; there is deterioration in the green of the man's clothing, but it is not all that distracting or even noticeable; there is similar deterioration across the bottom white area; other than this defect, the slide is in pretty nice condition; the cardboard holder has rust on the staples (typical of glass slides) but is otherwise in nice condition Learn More about condition grades
