An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Mighty Treve, the 1937 Lewis D. Collins canine Border Collie sheep dog adventure melodrama ("An adaptation of Albert Payson Terhune's famous novel"; about a sheep dog that is extremely faithful to its owner, but then the owner of the farm where they work accuses the dog of killing sheep and wants to kill it) starring Noah Beery Jr., Barbara Read, Alma Kruger, Samuel S. Hinds, Hobart Cavanaugh, "Tuffy" (in the title role as "The Mighty Treve"), Edmund Cobb, Guy Usher, Julian Rivero, and Erville Alderson. Note that Tuffy the dog was an Australian shepherd/collie mix born in 1930 and surprisingly did not enter movies until the relatively mature age of 5. His owner had trained him to perform an amazing array of tricks, including fetching many objects by name only, and actor Tully Marshall saw him and told his owner to get him into movies. He appeared in movies from 1935 to 1941, reaching star billing in several B-westerns, and he was the star of "The Mighty Treve of Arizona". He suffered a nervous breakdown on the set of "Brigham Young" in 1941, after which he retired, but he made personal appearances at movie theaters showing his movies until 1946, when he passed away at 16! Tuffy may not have been the most famous Hollywood dog, but he was surely among the most talented. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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 to fine. The glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images).
