An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Sutter's Gold, the 1936 James Cruze California gold rush mining adventure melodrama ("The screen's thundering drama of men mad with the greed for gold!"; "The thundering drama of gold rush days!"; "Based on Blaise Cendrar's Novel"; a highly fictionalized biography of the man who found gold on his ranch, which led to the famous 1849 California gold rush!) starring Edward Arnold (in the title role as John Sutter), Lee Tracy, Binnie Barnes, Katharine Alexander, Montague Love, Addison Richards, John Miljan, Harry Carey Sr., Bryant Washburn, Robert Warwick, Gaston Glass, Russell Hopton, William Janney (billed as "W.M. Janney"), Sidney Bracy, and Nan Gray. Note that there is an asterisk after Edward Arnold's name in the credits, which leads to an explanation that he is in the movie "by arrangement with B.P. Schulberg". It had been bought by Universal in the 1920s for Sergei Eisenstein (who finished a treatment for the film), but it was never made. William Faulkner also did a treatment of the story for Howard Hawks in 1934 but it never progressed further. Universal surely later wished they had forgotten all about it, because their 1936 movie cost $2,000,000 to make, 20 times the average Universal movie of the time, and did terribly at the box office. Also note that at the same time this movie was made, there was a German version released, called "Der kaiser von Kalifornien", which altered the story somewhat.

Important Added Info: 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 glass, 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!
