Note that this sort of zany rags-to-riches comedy was very popular in 1931 at the height of The Depression, when so many people were out of work and looking for anything to help them escape their real life troubles!

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. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates section at the bottom of the glass. Otherwise, the cardboard holder has staining or smudges around the staples, but the glass slide itself is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
