An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Going to Congress, the 1924 Rob Wagner silent political government satirical comedy short (produced by Hal Roach; about a naive boob who is hand picked to run for congress, specifically because they feel that he can be "handled", but he turns the tables on his handlers) starring Will Rogers, Molly Thompson, Marie Mosquini, William Gillespie, and Charlie Hall. Note that if this plot summary sounds familiar, it is because Frank Capra used a much expanded version of it in 1939's "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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
