An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Cohens and the Kellys in Africa, the 1930 Vin Moore Jewish/Irish family relationship jungle safari adventure comedy ("Story by Vin Moore & Edward Luddy"; this was one of the many successful "Jewish/Irish" movies that started in the 1910s; the first in this series was made in 1926, and there were six sequels to that movie, including this one; the series centered around a baby girl who is left on a doorstep and adopted by an Irish cop and a Jewish pawnbroker, and is raised in both faiths; when she grows up, she must choose between two very different men, with the help of her "fathers"; in this entry, they had the lead families go to Africa, to try to liven things up, but apparently Universal spent very little money on making Africa realistic, and this is far from one of the best in the series!) starring George Sidney (in the title role as Cohen), Charlie Murray (in the title role as Kelly), Vera Gordon, Kate Price, and Lloyd Whitlock. Note that while George Sidney played the same role in all the entries in this series, in 1929, Mack Swain took over the part of Mr. Kelly from Charles Murray, but in all the earlier entries of the series, it was Charles Murray who played that part. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that someone scratched out the bottom area of the glass slide, where a theater would normally put play dates. Otherwise, the slide is in nice condition. 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: good. This glass slide has clear condition problems that causes it to be in less than "very good" condition. We do NOT describe those defects in words (UNLESS the defect is a crack in one or both panes of the slide, in which case we ALWAYS describe it elsewhere within the auction in words), and you can likely see some or all of them in the "large" and "super-sized" images we provide. If you are the sort who can accept a major defect, then you should bid on items in this condition grade, BUT PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THEIR VERY CLEAR DEFECTS!
