An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Are You Legally Married?, the 1919 Robert Thornby silent romantic love triangle divorce melodrama ("Are your children legitimate?"; "NO nudity sex problems vulgarity war vampires"; "SEE the Broadway sensation"; "Can your wife be arrested for bigamy?" "See Lew Cody and Rosemary Theby in 'Are You Legally Married?'"; about a wealthy woman who marries a sleazy lawyer, and he steals much of her money to pay his gambling debts, and she divorces him and marries a good man, but then the lawyer learns that the divorce was not legal, and he blackmails her saying she is a bigamist; she refuses to pay, and there is a scandal and a trial, and it goes all the way to the Supreme Court, who rules that she is NOT divorced, and her good husband tries to shoot the lawyer, but he misses, and the lawyer dies in a car accident, making her current marriage alright!) starring Lew Cody, Rosemary Theby, Nanon Welsh, Henry Woodward, and H.J. Barrows. Note that many people don't know that back at this time, marriage laws were set state by state, and you could be married in one state and divorced in another and not have it recognized by the first state. This movie starts with a prologue asking the government to pass laws governing divorce throughout the United States, saying currently at least 600,000 marriages are illegal under the existing laws! We were unable to discover exactly when divorce laws were standardized, but surely it occurred not too long after this movie (although there were other movies on this same subject, including "We're Not Married" in 1952, with Marilyn Monroe and others who find out they are not legally married).

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: very good to fine. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates section at the bottom of the glass. The slide is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
