An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) The Story Without a Name, the 1924 Irvin Willat silent spy espionage inventor death ray romantic crime thriller ("The first great RADIO romance!"; a somewhat wacky story of a young radio expert who invents a death ray for the U.S. government, and enemy spies who are pirates capture him and his girlfriend, but his girlfriend destroys the machine first, but the spies threaten to kill her if he doesn't build a new machine, and instead, he builds a telegraph machine and is able to call for help!) starring Agnes Ayres, Antonio Moreno, Tyrone Power Sr., Louis Wolheim, Dagmar Godowsky, and Jack Lionel Bohn. Note that this movie has an unusual name, for an unusual reason! The producers of the movie held a contest through Photoplay Magazine. They said they would release this movie with no name at all, and then viewers could watch it and write in their choice for the best name for it, and that the winner would receive $5,000, a staggering amount in 1924 dollars (we have no way of knowing if the prize was ever awarded, but we strongly doubt it!). 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). 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 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. Otherwise, the glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images). Learn More about condition grades
