Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Male and Female, the 1919 Cecil B. DeMille silent shipwreck romantic melodrama ("The riotous luxury of London society, the rugged grandeur of a tropical island, and the glory of old Babylon, welded together in the master drama of a master producer. A drama of nature's laws - and man's"; "It's coming! A story of tremendous heart appeal, luxuriously staged. Awesome in it's [sic] splendor."; "Founded on J.M. Barrie's famous play 'The Admirable Crichton'"; about a group of upper class English men and women who are shipwrecked on a desert island along with their butler, played by Thomas Meighan, and he proves to be the only worthwhile person there, but they learn to adapt and be happy in their new setting, until they are "rescued"; there is an elaborate dream sequence where Swanson imagines Meighan as a Babylonian king and she gets her revenge on him!) starring Gloria Swanson, Thomas Meighan, Lila Lee, Theodore Roberts, and Raymond Hatton. Note that this play was written in 1903 by James M. Barrie (best remembered for creating Peter Pan), and was a great success. There was a film version in 1913, followed by a 1918 English version, and the following year by this version. It was also filmed in 1934 and 1957. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 to fine. As is typical with older glass slides, this slide has no holder, but has black tape around all the edges of the glass. The slide is in about as good condition as can be expected. See below for a scan of just the slide image and a sep Learn More about condition grades
