Auction History Result #349 HIGHER & HIGHER glass slide '43 Sinatra Date Sold 5/14/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Higher and Higher, the 1943 Tim Whelan mistaken identity romantic musical comedy ("The Sinatra Show"; "The voice that's Thrilling The World teamed with a half dozen popular top-flight comedians in a glittering, glorious musical show - chock full of romance with haunting whistleable songs, dances, laughs!"; about a rich man who goes broke and can't pay his large staff, and they love him, so they come up with a harebrained scheme where one of them impersonates the formerly rich man's daughter to find a wealthy husband who can pay off their boss' debts) starring Michele Morgan, Jack Haley, Frank Sinatra (extremely young in this role), Leon Errol, Marcy McGuire, Paul Hartman, Grace Hartman, Barbara Hale, Dooley Wilson, Victor Borge, Mel Torme (just 18 years old, and in his first movie!), and Ivory Scott. Note that this was based on a Rodgers & Hart musical, which was a rare failure for them. RKO bought the rights, but then scrapped almost all the songs, and reshaped it as a vehicle for the hottest singer to come along in a decade, Frank Sinatra, who was making his feature film debut. The movie was billed as "The Sinatra Show", even though he had third billing! 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: fine. The slide and holder are in about as good condition as can be expected (there is just slight aging to the holder). See below for a scan of the slide and a separate scan of the holder. Learn More about condition grades
