An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Bound in Morocco, the 1918 Allan Dwan silent romantic action comedy ("Story and direction by Allan Dwan"; an unusual story of an American "Boy" in Morocco, who learns a beautiful American "Girl" is about to be sold into a harem of a cruel Sheik; he tries to rescue her but is put in prison, and then escapes and disguises himself as a female attendant, and sneaks into the harem, and rescues the girl; he has a battle with the Sheik, and at the end of the movie, everyone is chasing the boy and the girl, including the police, local bandits, and all the townspeople, but the mother of the girl drives up and they jump in the car and drive to safety) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (as "The Boy"), Pauline Curley (as "The Girl"), Edythe Chapman, Tully Marshall, and Frank Campeau. Note that there is an oddity to this movie. The IMDb says that the screenplay and the story were credited to Elton Thomas, who was really Douglas Fairbanks Sr., and the "writer" was Allan Dwan, but the glass slide for this movie solely says that the story was by Allan Dwan, so we wonder if the IMDb has some facts mixed up. If anyone can untangle this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: good to very good. There is slight smudging on the glass, including over the image (it could likely be cleaned). Learn More about condition grades
