An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More)

45 Fathers (Forty Five Fathers), the 1937 James Tinling juvenile-orphan-adopted-by-rich-bachelors screwball comedy ("45 millionaires sign up as her guardians... and then shout for someone to protect THEM!"; "I may be a ventriloquist's dummy, but this is the funniest picture you've ever seen!"; "It's the funniest Jane Withers picture you've ever seen.... even a dummy knows that!"; "Please adopt me!"; "Based on a story by Mary Bickel"; about a teen girl whose parents die, and 45 millionaire bachelors become her joint guardians; they try to make her a "lady" at a fancy dance, but she befriends a married couple who are down and out vaudeville performers who are skilled at both ventriloquism and comic dancing and before the dance the couple teaches her to throw her voice while dancing; and she throws the dance into an uproar when she makes it seem like all the other dancers are saying outrageous things!) starring Jane Withers, Thomas Beck, Louise Henry, The Hartmans, Richard Carle, and Nella Walker. Note that "The Hartmans" were a couple of real life vaudevillians who were "eccentric ventriloquists and famed Broadway satirists of the dance", and this part in this, their first film, was surely written for them. But they never appeared in another movie, and we could find no more information about them, not even their names! If anyone knows more about them, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

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.
