An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More)

Merry-Go-Round, the 1922 Rupert Julian & Erich von Stroheim silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("Universal Super-Jewel, The Mad Whirl of Life Love and Luxury"; "You'll be surprised!") starring Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry, Cesare Gravina, George Hackathorne, Edith Yorke, George Seigmann, Dale Fuller, Dorothy Wallace, Spottswoode Aifken, Al Edmundson, Maude George, Charles L. King, Fenwick Oliver, Sidney Bracy, Jane Sherman and Helen Broneau. Note that Erich von Stroheim was the actual director of this movie. But as he was finishing it, producer Irving Thalberg fired him, and called in Rupert Julian to finish the movie, and, no doubt to spite von Stroheim, only Julian was billed as the director of the movie. But it is completely a von Stroheim movie, and quite an interesting one! It is interesting to note that soon after this, Irving Thalberg was himself fired by Carl Laemmle (reportedly because Thalberg dumped Laemmle's daughter!), and he went to work for Louis B. Mayer, later rising to be the head of MGM studios!

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 to very good. There are light white stains over part of the tagline area at lower right. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates section at the bottom of the glass, but the play dates were mostly erased (see our image).
