Date Sold 4/10/2016Sold 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 Gorilla, the 1927 Alfred Santell silent monster murder horror thriller ("Ah!"; "Don't worry about the Gorilla - Mulligan and Garrity are on the job!"; loosely based on the play by Ralph Spence, one of the earliest "haunted house" type plays; by the time it was made into a movie, its plot had become so cliched that this movie plays it for laughs, and was apparently quite funny, and quite successful!) starring Charles Murray (billed as "Charley Murray"; as Garrity), Fred Kelsey (as Mulligan), Alice Day, Tully Marshall, Claude Gillingwater, Walter Pidgeon, Brooks Benedict, Syd Crossley, and John Kolb (uncredited, as the man in the gorilla suit). Note that Walter Pidgeon plays a handsome young man in this movie who is not what he seems, and that is an important plot twist. Oddly, three years later, First National remade this movie, and they significantly changed plot elements. The lead lady and the cast also changed, EXCEPT for Walter Pidgeon, but oddly, his character was quite a bit changed! Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: fine. Someone wrote when the movie played and where in pen on the back of the cardboard holder, but otherwise, the slide is in really wonderful condition! Learn More about condition grades
