An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) The Firing Line, the 1919 Charles Maigne silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("By Robert W. Chambers"; "The beautiful gowns and dresses worn by Irene Castle in this film are pictured and described in the July Ladies' Home Journal"; a truly wild story of a woman who gets married "in name only", for the position she will gain, but then she falls in love with another man, and her husband, seeing that she is far happier with the other man, goes to a seance and asks his dead father for advice on what to do, and the dead father tells him to commit suicide, which he does, and then his wife is free to marry the other man!) starring Irene Castle, David Powell, Gladys Coburn, Anne Cornwall, Charles Craig, and Rudolph De Cordova. Note that star Irene Castle was the wife of Vernon Castle, and together they were a legendary dance team, but she made some movie appearances without her husband. In 1949, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made a biography of them called "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle". 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). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: good. There is deterioration in the bottom right that slightly enters the image background. Learn More about condition grades
