Date Sold 2/14/2023Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) The Secret Call, the 1931 Stuart Walker hotel switchboard operator romantic melodrama starring Richard Arlen, Peggy Shannon, William B. Davidson, Charles Trowbridge, Ned Sparks, and Jane Keithley. Note that this movie had been set to star Clara Bow, but just before filming was to start, she had a nervous breakdown, and a desperate Paramount turned to stage actress Peggy Shannon, who had been just signed to a contract. She started filming this just five days after she arrived in Hollywood, and she apparently did a good job and was well received, but unfortunately did not have a major success in Hollywood, making a few dozen movies in the 1930s, few of them memorable ones. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that any movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned anything other than ten lobby cards, four stills, and a glass slide from this movie until we received this second glass slide! Note that this is from an incredible collection of 76 glass slides that were recently discovered! Almost all of them are from 1931 to 1933 (with a very few from before and after). We are auctioning them in 76 separate auctions, and then there will be no more from this amazing find (except for a few duplicated ones, which we will auction at a later time). Not only are many wonderful titles included, but many of the slides are in remarkable condition, and quite a few of them do not have any showtimes or days of the week handwritten in the bottom area, and many likely look like they did when they were first sent to the theater! There have been several "finds" of glass slides over the many years we have been auctioning, but this is surely one of the greatest ever and it is a wonderful opportunity to purchase some or many of these extreme rarities! Also 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). 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: very good to fine. The slide is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
