An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Mr. Moto in Danger Island, the 1939 Herbert I. Leeds Asian detective Puerto Rico mystery crime thriller ("Moto on an isle of horror...! ...where terror stalks the shadows and a corpse can catch a killer!"; "In a far corner of Earth... Where life is cheap... Moto meets his strangest crime adventure!"; "From a novel by John W. Vandercook"; "Based upon the character 'Mr. Moto' created by J.P. Marquand"; "Based upon story ideas by John Reinhardt and George Bricker"; the seventh entry in this series of popular movies, in this one Mr. Moto goes to Puerto Rico) starring Peter Lorre (in the title role as Mr. Moto), Jean Hersholt, Amanda Duff, Warren Hymer, Richard Lane, Leon Ames, Douglass Dumbrille, Charles D. Brown, Robert Lowery, Ward Bond, and Harry Strang. Note that Fox had had great success with its Chinese detective, Charlie Chan, so it seemed natural for them to start this second series featuring a Japanese detective. It did not start until 1937, perhaps because they did not have an actor suitable for the lead role, but Peter Lorre had substance abuse issues, and he was probably happy to get the work. Fox made seven movies in just three years, but then they stopped the series, likely because of the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment in the U.S., as World War II neared.

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: good. This glass slide has clear condition problems that causes it to be in less than "very good" condition. We do NOT describe those defects in words (UNLESS the defect is a crack in one or both panes of the glass, in which case we ALWAYS describe it elsewhere within the auction in words), and you can likely see some or all of them in the "large" and "super-sized" images we provide. If you are the sort who can accept a major defect, then you should bid on items in this condition grade, BUT PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THEIR VERY CLEAR DEFECTS!
