An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The President Vanishes (also released as "Strange Conspiracy"), the 1934 William A. Wellman political conspiracy war kidnapping crime thriller (this movie is completely forgotten, but it sounds fascinating!; it deals with the President of the United States wanting to keep the United States out of the European war, but Congress and American fascist groups are strongly in favor of him entering the war, and just when it seems that he has no choice but to do so, he is kidnapped, and the public, knowing he was opposed to the war, refuses to let Congress enter the war in his absence, and at the climax of the movie, it is revealed that he was never really kidnapped, but that he simply staged it to keep America out of the war!) starring Edward Arnold, Arthur Byron (in the title role as the President who stages his own kidnapping), Paul Kelly, Peggy Conklin, Andy Devine, Janet Beecher, Osgood Perkins, and Edward Ellis. Note that Rex Stout, two years before his famous Nero Wolfe character came to the screen in "Meet Nero Wolfe", wrote a novel called "The President Vanishes", and it was adapted into this movie!

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 to fine. 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 glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images). Learn More about condition grades
