An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Headin' South, the 1918 Allan Dwan & Arthur Rosson silent Canada Mexico romantic love triangle western crime comedy ("Story by Allan Dwan"; Fairbanks is a Canadian outlaw going all the way to Mexico, and he is nicknamed "Headin' South" for that reason; when he arrives there, he joins Spanish Joe's gang of outlaws, and the two fight over the same woman; but Headin' South betrays Spanish Joe and captures his entire gang, and only then he reveals he was an undercover North West Mounted Police agent!) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (in the title role as Headin' South), Frank Campeau, Katherine MacDonald, Jim Mason, and Hoot Gibson. Note that Hoot Gibson was a real life cowboy who worked in Wild West shows and as a stuntman in movies of the 1910s. During this time, he was married to Helen Gibson, who was a major silent star. In the 1920s, he became a major star of B-westerns. This was one of his early movies where he likely was cast for his stuntman abilities. 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: very good. There is slight smudging on the glass (it is not very distracting, and it could likely be cleaned). 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 slide is in pretty nice condition!
