Auction History Result 1a123 SUCCESSFUL CALAMITY glass slide '32 Arliss in a movie you'll enjoy more than The Millionaire Date Sold 9/6/2015 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) A Successful Calamity, the 1932 John G. Adolfi high-society family relationship comedy ("George Arliss in a picture you'll enjoy even more than 'The Millionaire'"; based on a play by Claire Kummer; about a rich old millionaire, who has a beautiful young selfish second wife, played by Mary Astor, and grown children the same age as his wife, and he decides to pretend to be broke to see how they will react, and they all turn out to be great about it, with formerly selfish Astor selling her jewelry to get him money!) starring George Arliss, Mary Astor, Evalyn Knapp, Hardie Albright, Grant Mitchell, Randolph Scott (in his fourth credited movie role!), and William Janney. Note that Mary Astor had been in movies for 11 years by the time this was made, but she was still only 26, and she played the wife of 64 year-old George Arliss, which surely took all of her acting ability!

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. 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 cardboard holder has staining around the staples, but the glass slide itself is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
