An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Sonny Boy, the 1929 Archie Mayo romantic mistaken identity family relationship comedy farce ("When there are grey skies, I don't mind the gray skies You make them blue, Son-ny boy."; "Friends may for-sake me- Let them all for-sake me- You'll pull me through, Son-ny Boy"; "Let me hold you near-er One thing make you dear-er You've your moth-er's eyes, Son-ny Boy."; "Oo-ooh! You aught'a see me in my new pictures -yours 'Sonny Boy'"; about an about to be divorced woman and her son who hide out in the apartment of a bachelor lawyer, but then the lawyer's parents show up and they assume the woman is their son's new wife, and her son is their grandchild, and she plays along!) starring Davey Lee (in the title role as Sonny Boy), Edward Everett Horton, Betty Bronson, Gertrude Olmstead, and John T. Murray. Note that Davey Lee had followed his older brother Frankie Lee into acting, and he had massive success in 1928 (when he was not yet 4 years old) playing opposite Al Jolson in The Singing Fool. His success was so great that he was given the lead in this movie, without Jolson! Later that year, he reunited with Jolson in Say It With Songs, and then the following year, his mother insisted he retire at the age of 6, so that he could "have a normal life", and he apparently did, because he lived until 2008! Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 to fine.
