Date Sold 7/5/2015Sold 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) The Great Air Robbery, the 1920 Jacques Jaccard silent airplane aviation adventure thriller ("A crashing sensation"; "An astounding staged drama of the clouds") starring Ormer Locklear (billed as "Featuring the daredevil Locklear") , Allan Forrest, Ray Ripley, Francelia Billington, and Carmen Phillips. Note that Ormer Locklear was the first of the great daredevils (like Evel Knievel). He specialized in both motorcycles and early airplanes. He performed many very daring airplane stunts including being the first man to transfer from one plane to another in mid-air. In 1916, Harry Houdini heard of his stunts, and together tried to perfect an escape while being driven on the back of a motorcycle! He made this movie, where he of course performed his own stunts, which was followed by "The Skywayman" the following year, another airplane movie. He performed a dangerous stunt during the making of the movie, and it involved flying straight down to the ground, and the people on the ground messed up, and he was tragically killed.

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: very good. There is slight smudging on the glass (it is not very distracting, and it could likely be cleaned). Otherwise, the slide is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
