Gilmour. Note that star Irene Castle is indeed THAT Irene Castle who was part of a famous dancing team in the early 1900s with her husband Vernon (immortalized in an Astaire/Rogers biography). Vernon was killed at the end of World War I while serving, and Irene made several movies on her own afterwards, and also married several more times. 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: very good. There is slight smudging on the glass (it is not very distracting, and it could likely be cleaned). Otherwise, the slide is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
