Auction History Result 3t1236 EXPERT glass slide 1932 Edna Ferber, George S. Kaufman, Sale befriends Dickie Moore, rare! Date Sold 2/14/2023 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) Edna Ferber's The Expert, the 1932 Archie Mayo old-man-young-boy friendship comedy ("The grandest pair of pals that ever walked the earth!"; "The laugh tear hit of the season!"; "Based on the story 'Old Man Minick'" by Edna Ferber) starring Charles 'Chic' Sale, Dickie Moore, Lois Wilson, Ralf Harolde, and Adrienne Dore. Note that Charles 'Chic' Sale was an actor who specialized in playing feisty old men, and yet they used an image of him out of makeup on the one-sheet for this movie. Also note that the source novel was written by Edna Ferber, who had had many great successes, and that the play adaptation was by Ferber and George S. Kaufman, and yet this movie adaptation was not a major success, likely confounding the Warner Bros. executives who green-lighted it into production! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that any movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned anything other than four lobby cards, a one-sheet, and a pressbook from this movie until we received this glass slide! Note that this is from an incredible collection of 76 glass slides that were recently discovered! Almost all of them are from 1931 to 1933 (with a very few from before and after). We are auctioning them in 76 separate auctions, and then there will be no more from this amazing find (except for a few duplicated ones, which we will auction at a later time). Not only are many wonderful titles included, but many of the slides are in remarkable condition, and quite a few of them do not have any showtimes or days of the week handwritten in the bottom area, and many likely look like they did when they were first sent to the theater! There have been several "finds" of glass slides over the many years we have been auctioning, but this is surely one of the greatest ever and it is a wonderful opportunity to purchase some or many of these extreme rarities! Also 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 slide is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
