Auction History Result 1x046 LES MISERABLES glass slide 1917 French movie of Victor Hugo's masterpiece, in 8 parts! Date Sold 10/11/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1917 (likely from the first U.S. release) Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Les Miserables, the 1912 Albert Capellani French silent Paris France romantic crime melodrama ("In eight parts"; "From Victor Hugo's famous masterpiece") starring Henry Krauss (as Jean Valjean), Henri Etievant (as Javert), Maria Ventura (as Fantine), Maria Fromet (as Cosette), Mistinguett (as Eponine), and Gabriel de Gravone (as Marius). Apparently, this was a really epic silent movie that was released as one film in France in 1912, and then released in four separate parts in 1913. We know it was released in the U.S. in 1917 in eight parts, and that this was likely was the first U.S. release (and the IMDb says that it is). We were unable to locate more information about this movie (or its various releases on the Internet, which seems a shame, because it clearly was a very important movie in its day). 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 this movie was first made in France in 1912 (see above), but we know that this slide can't date from before 1915, because Pathe's U.S. subsidiary did not become the "Pathe Exchange" until that date (we suspect this slide is from one of their very first releases after the name change). Also 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: very good. The black tape is missing from the left border, but the slide is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
