An Original Vintage Theatrical Advertising Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle was a wildly popular silent actor. In the late 1910s, he was probably the most famous and most successful silent comedian, and in 1918, he discovered Buster Keaton, who appeared in a number of movies with him, before going on to major stardom himself. Arbuckle's career was cut short in 1921, at the height of his fame, when he was accused of raping and causing the death of minor actress Virginia Rappe at an infamous party. Despite a significant lack of evidence, he was put on trial, and there were two trials that ended in hung juries, and then at this third trial, where Buster Keaton testified in his defense, he was not only acquitted, but the jury gave him a letter apologizing for the injustices done to him! But because of the scandal, his career was ruined. While Hollywood would eventually "forgive" him, and he started making movies again in 1932, he would only make six new films (comedy shorts for Warner Bros.) between this time and June 1933 (less than nine months later), when he passed away from a heart attack, and he was just 46 years old. Some of his movies include: Fatty and Mabel Adrift, The Garage, Back Stage, Go West, and the Bell Boy. Important Added Info: Note that we know this glass slide dates from 1920, because they reused the tagline from his 1920 movie The Round Up, "Nobody loves a fat man"! 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). 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 to fine.
