An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Grand Slam, the 1933 William Dieterle romantic bridge card game gambling melodrama ("It's a riot of fun!"; "Laffs galore!"; it is hard to believe nowadays, but this movie's plot concerns a husband and wife who break up over the husband's devotion to the card game bridge, and after many misunderstandings, the movie ends with the husband in a match against his rival, and he is losing, but at the climax, his wife offers to become his partner in the game, and they win the match, which helps them repair their damaged marriage!) starring Paul Lukas, Loretta Young, Frank McHugh, Glenda Farrell, and Helen Vinson. Note that the card game bridge achieved phenomenal success in the U.S. in the early 1930s! Virtually every married couple played it, and there were daily bridge columns in every newspaper, and the top bridge players, like Ely Culbertson, became famous celebrities! Naturally, Hollywood tried to make a movie about the phenomenon, but watching people play cards on screen is not very exciting, so this was the only such movie!

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: very good. Learn More about condition grades
