An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More)

Mr. Moto Takes a Chance, the 1938 Norman Foster Asian detective crime mystery thriller ("based on the character 'Mr. Moto' created by J.P. Marquand"; "Original story by Willis Cooper and Norman Foster"; the fourth entry in this series of popular movies) starring Peter Lorre (in the title role as Mr. Moto), Rochelle Hudson, Robert Kent, J. Edward Bromberg, Chick Chandler, and George Regas. Note that Fox had had great success with its Chinese detective, Charlie Chan, so it seemed natural for them to start this second series featuring a Japanese detective. It did not start until 1937, perhaps because they did not have an actor suitable for the lead role, but Peter Lorre had substance abuse issues, and he was probably happy to get the work. Fox made seven movies in just three years, but then they stopped the series, likely because of the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment in the U.S., as World War II neared.

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.
