An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Way Back Home, the 1931 William A. Seiter adventure melodrama ("Idol of Radio Now on the Screen"; "Colossus of radio now on the screen.."; "Idol of 10,000,000 radio fans"; "All America rises to his call! New Colossus of radio! ...He brings genius to the screen in heart-drama struck from the soul of America... A great show... it storms the senses... warms the heart... exalts your whole being!"; "Seth Parker" was a very popular radio show at this time, about a kindly old man in a small town who fixes everybody's troubles, and the show's starring character name was billed above the title instead of the actor who played him, Phillips Lord!) starring Phillips Lord (billed as "Seth Parker and his Jonesport Neighbors"), Frank Albertson, Dorothy Peterson, Bette Davis, and Effie Palmer. Note that Bette Davis had had three small roles for Universal, but had not made much impact, and she didn't in this movie for RKO either. Her next movie was for Columbia, and then she made one for a minor studio, and it is surprising that it took this long for studios to recognize her great star power! Note that she was so unknown at this time (and Seth Parker was such a major radio show) that the studio did not even include Davis' image on almost all of the movie paper!

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. Learn More about condition grades
