Auction History Result 2a137 HONOR AMONG LOVERS glass slide '31 romantic close up of Claudette Colbert & Fredric March! Date Sold 3/21/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Style A Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Honor Among Lovers, the 1931 Dorothy Arzner romantic love triangle melodrama starring Claudette Colbert, Fredric March, Monroe Owsley, Charles Ruggles (billed as "Charlie Ruggles"), and Ginger Rogers (extremely young in this role, playing a daffy "Gracie Allen" type part!). Note that this was a movie by trailblazing early female director Dorothy Arzner, and it has a very complicated plot about a rich businessman who wants to have a relationship with his secretary, and after she marries her boyfriend, he goes to great lengths to destroy their marriage, just so he can get the secretary back! Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.

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: fine. 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
