An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Dustin Farnum was an actor from the 1910s to the 1920s. He was a top star in cowboy and adventure movies (as was his brother William Farnum) from the mid 1910s through 1926, when he retired at the age of 52. He was the star of the first major western, The Squaw Man, in 1914, for Cecil B. DeMille. According to legend, he was given a salary of $5,000, but DeMille offered him a percentage of the movie if he would lower his salary in half, and he supposedly refused, but DeMille gave him a small amount of stock anyway, and Farnum thought so little of the movie that he gave it to his valet, who of course became rich after the movie was a massive success! Actor Dustin Hoffman says that his mother named him after this actor. Sadly, he only lived three years before he passed away in 1929, from kidney failure, at the age of 55. Important Added Info: Note that this was a stock glass slide used by theaters showing any Dustin Farnum Paramount picture. 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 to fine. The slide is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
