An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Wine, the 1924 Louis J. Gasnier silent romantic melodrama ("The Picture of the Hour"; "Adapted from the sensational story by William McHarg") starring Clara Bow (in her first starring role!), Robert Agnew (billed as "Rob't Agnew"), Forrest Stanley, Myrtle Stedman, Walter Long, Robert Benedict, and Huntley Gordon. Note that because Clara Bow was a pretty unknown actress at the time this movie was made, the poster artist for the one-sheet completely missed in drawing her likeness, and even made her a blonde! Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

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: fair to good. There is a diagonal crack running down the right center of the slide (it goes through the left side of Bow's face, as seen in our image). The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates section at the bottom of the glass. Learn More about condition grades
