Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Scarlet Days, the 1919 D.W. Griffith silent romantic adventure cowboy western ("A Tale of the Olden West"; "Photographed by G.W. Bitzer"; about a girl who was given away by her mother as a child, and she gets a chance to meet her mother when she is grown up, but she doesn't know that her mother is a saloon hall girl who is about to be hung; she reunites with her mother, and a kindhearted Mexican bandit, played by Richard Barthelmess, rescues the pair, and that is only the beginning of an epic story!) starring Richard Barthelmess, J. Wesley Warner, Eugenie Besserer, Carol Dempster, and Clarine Seymour. Note that the cinematographer on this movie was Billy Bitzer, who worked very closely with D.W. Griffith (they made 490 movies together!). Apparently, Griffith felt that Bitzer really deserved credit for his great contributions to Griffith's movies, and he is prominently billed on the title card (and maybe other posters that we have not seen), and he is billed as "G.W. Bitzer". It is very unusual for a cinematographer to have been billed on advertising for silent movies. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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. As is typical with older glass slides, this slide has no holder, but has black tape around all the edges of the glass. Most of the black tape is missing from the top edge of the slide as well as some of the right of the bottom edge. There is Learn More about condition grades
