An Original Vintage Theatrical Style B Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Charlie Chan in Reno, the 1939 Norman Foster Nevada Asian detective gambling mystery crime thriller ("Based on the original story 'Death Makes a Decree' by Philip Wylie"; "Based on the character 'Charlie Chan' created by Earl Derr Biggers") starring Sidney Toler (as Charlie Chan), Ricardo Cortez, Phyllis Brooks, Slim Summerville, Kane Richmond, Victor Sen Yung (billed as "Sen Yung"), Pauline Moore, Eddie Collins, Kay Linaker, Louise Henry, Robert Lowery, and Charles D. Brown. Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

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: fair to good. There is a diagonal crack down the right center, but otherwise, the slide is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
