Auction History Result m257 DADDY LONG LEGS movie glass lantern slide '31 Janet Gaynor Date Sold 3/15/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Daddy Long Legs, the 1931 Alfred Santell romantic comedy ("From play by Jean Webster"; about a middle aged millionaire who meets an 18 year old girl in an orphanage, and he is in love with her, but restrains himself and sends her to college, but after several years, they fall in love) starring Janet Gaynor, Warner Baxter, Una Merkel, John Arledge, Claude Gillingwater, and Effie Ellsler. Note that this movie was based on a play and novel by Jean Webster from 1912. It was made into a silent movie in 1919 starring Mary Pickford, and was remade as this sound film, and then was significantly altered so that Shirley Temple could play the lead in "Curly Top" in 1935, and then was remade with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in 1955. Obviously, it is extremely unlikely that this plot will ever be used again, because in today's world, a story about a middle aged man falling in love with an 18 year old that he "adopts" is very inappropriate!

Important Added Info: Note that there is a long crack down the right of the slide going down the left side of the credits and through the end of the title. 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!
