An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4") (Learn More) Das Weib des Pharao (released in the U.S. as "Loves of Pharaoh" and also as "Pharaoh's Wife"), the 1922 Ernst Lubitsch German silent Egyptian epic (a wild story of the King of Ethiopia going to the Pharaoh of Egypt and presenting him with a girl to take as one of his many wives, but instead, the Pharaoh wants a beautiful slave of the King's, but she is in love with someone else, and an entire war breaks out between the two countries; the movie was released in different versions in different countries, and in most countries, it had an unhappy ending, but American audiences insisted on a happy ending, and Lubitsch provided it!) starring Emil Jannings (as the Pharaoh), Harry Liedtke, Dagny Servaes, Paul Wegener (as the King of Ethiopia; best remembered as the co-director and star of the three German expressionist movies starring "The Golem", which he made in 1915, 1917 and 1920; the Golem is widely regarded as one of the first movie monsters, and likely had a strong influence on American horror movies!), and Lyda Salmonova. Note that when this German movie was released in the United States, Lubitsch's first name was "Americanized" to "Ernest", probably to help hide that it was a non-U.S. movie, or to prevent people from thinking his name was spelled incorrectly as "Ernst"! Note that the early 1920s saw a number of these great Biblical epics! Cecil B. DeMille made The Ten Commandments in 1923, and Michael Curtiz (then Mihaly Kertesz) made Sodom and Gomorrah in 1922, and Moon Over Israel in 1924 (both in Germany), which caused him to be recognized by Hollywood, and that is when he moved there. 1922 also saw this movie from Ernst Lubitsch, and THIS is what caused him to go to the United States and become Paramount's top director, starting in 1923!

Many collectors are not familiar with them, because they are incredibly rare, and are rarely offered for sale. Click HERE for a brief history of what they are and what they were used for. Note that we have provided two images at right for this glass slide. The first image is a high quality scan of just the image area of the slide that shows what it looks like with light shining through it (as it was originally seen when displayed). The second image is a photograph of the entire glass slide (including either the cardboard holder or black tape around the edges, depending on the type of glass slide it is). Clicking on either image will open a new browser window with larger, high quality versions of both images. Condition: very good to fine. the glass slide itself is in very good to fine condition; there is a tiny white dot stain at the lower left of the "L" of "LOVES"; there is some slight surface "frosting" over much of the image area, but it disappears when you look at the slide through light (and may be easily removable); other than the above, the slide is in nice condition; there is a white circle between the glass in the lower left corner that does not affect the image); the slide does not have a cardboard holder, but rather there is black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of older glass slides Learn More about condition grades
