Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Two Orphans, the 1915 Herbert Brenon silent Paris France family melodrama (based on the novel by Adolphe d'Ennery & Eugene Cormon) starring Theda Bara, Jean Sothern, Williaim E. Shar, Herbert Brenon, Gertrude Berkeley, and Frank Goldsmith. Note that there are several things unusual about this movie, which was based on a play, which was based on a novel. The novel was first turned into a play in 1876, and Kate Claxton originated the role of Louise, and that made her a star, and she played the role over and over (although there was a giant fire at a theater she performed at in Chicago in 1876, which killed many people). There were three silent movies adapted from this in 1909 to 1911, and then this version was made in 1915, with Theda Bara in the lead role. The only movie paper from this movie we have ever seen is a glass slide, and also a lobby card that has "The Kate Claxton 1918 Version of The Two Orphans" on it, and we don't know if that simply means that this is a 1918 re-release of the 1915 movie, or if it means the movie was re-edited (and we don't know why Kate Claxton is given that prominent billing). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: fine. As is typical with older glass slides, this slide has no holder, but has black tape around all the edges of the glass. The slide is in about as good condition as can be expected. See below for a scan of just the slide image and a separate scan of Learn More about condition grades
