Date Sold 9/6/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) The Hawk's Nest, the 1928 Benjamin Christensen Chicago Illinois silent romantic crime melodrama ("Story by Wid Gunning"; a wild story of a Chinatown restaurant owner who, after one of his employees is murdered, has plastic surgery so that he looks exactly like a notorious gangster, so that he can bring the murderer to justice; this seems like really extreme measures to me, but what do I know?) starring Milton Sills (in the title role as The Hawk), Doris Kenyon, Sojin, Montagu Love, Mitchell Lewis. Note that this movie was written by Wid Gunning, who had between 1921 and 1925 released four Charles Dickens adaptations in Denmark for release in Scandinavian countries. He lost much of his fortune on those four movies, and turned to screenwriting. If the unusual first name "Wid" seems familiar, it is because Mr. Gunning started the most famous trade magazine in early Hollywood, "Wid's Daily"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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: good. There is a small crack in the top left corner of the glass that extends into the edge of the red background. Otherwise, the slide is in nice condition.
