An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Meres francaises (released in the U.S. as "Mothers of France"), the 1917 Rene Hervil & Louis Mercanton French silent World War I (WWI) romantic family relationship melodrama ("Written by Jean Richepin Member of the French Academy") starring Sarah Bernhardt (one of just seven movies made by the famous French stage actress!), Berthe Jalabert, Gabriel Signoret, Jean Signoret, and Georges Melchior. Note that Sarah Bernhardt was one of the most legendary stage actresses ever. She was born in 1844 in Paris, France, the daughter of poor Jewish parents. She acted while she was a student in her teens, but became the mistress of a Belgian prince, and had a child by him. The prince's family forced him to break up with her, and she became a courtesan, and she began acting again in 1866, and by the 1870s was France's leading actress, and she also toured all over Europe and in New York, earning her the nickname "The Divine Sarah". She made her first movie in 1900, and only appeared in a total of seven movies (she injured a leg in 1905, and it had to be amputated, and she performed with a wooden leg!). She continued to appear on the stage, and she passed away in 1923 at the age of 78! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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.
