Date Sold 1/17/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Hawthorne of the U.S.A, the 1919 James Cruze silent romantic comedy adventure ("From the play by James B. Fagan") starring Wallace Reid (in the title role as Anthony Hamilton Hawthorne), Lila Lee, Harrison Ford, Tully Marshall, and Charles Ogle. Note that Wallace Reid was a top star in the early 1910s, and he met Dorothy Davenport, who was a young starlet who had also made movies in the early 1910s, and they then made many movies together, marrying in 1913. In 1917, she had their son, and she made few movies after the birth of her son. In 1919, Wallace Reid was making a movie "The Valley of the Giants", and he was injured, and was given morphine to enable him to finish filming. He became a major drug addict, and made 24 movies over the next 3 years, but died in 1923 at the age of 31, and it is unclear exactly how large a part drugs and alcohol played in his death, but certainly this was one of the first great Hollywood drug scandals. The following year, Davenport produced "Human Wreckage", an expose of Hollywood and drugs, billed as "Mrs. Wallace Reid", and the next year, she made this movie, "The Red Kimono", and she made a total of six movies after "Human Wreckage", always billed the same way. In 1934, she retired and she died in 1977 at the age of 82. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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.
