VINTAGE FILM POSTERS & MEMORABILIAOriginal American Movie Glass Slide
This ORIGINAL, "coming attraction" glass slide was designed and printed to promote the first theatrical release of the 1924, silent/romance feature, WAGES OF VIRTUE. The film starred Gloria Swanson, Ben Lyon, Norman Trevor, and Ivan Linow. The film was directed by Alan Dwan. FREE BONUS POSTER BOOKS Any bidder winning three or more lots of my eBay listings, closing in this 24 hour period, will receive as a free bonus, a new copy of one of the high quality, soft cover, full color POSTER BOOKS that Bruce Hershenson has published. Any bidder buying six of more of my glass slide listings, will receive two different volumes of the Poster Books. Buy ten listings and receive three different volumes. Buy twenty listings and receive ten different Poster Books! These books retail for $20,or $25 each. I pay domestic media rate shipping, but international buyers must pay the exact postage cost. The hand colored glass slide is ORIGINAL. It is NOT a reproduction, or commercial item available to the general public. It was created to be projected on the movie theatre screen before the film was released, to promote the "coming attraction". The fragility of glass slides make those that have survived (especially those in excellent condition) very rare pieces of film history. Surviving glass slides are much rarer than the paper poster memorabilia from the same film. Recently, t have been other sellers on eBay who have been selling glass slides as ORIGINAL, when they are RE-RELEASE slides. Please be assured that I ALWAYS research my listings, and accurately describe what they are. I will NEVER list a re-release item as original. If I am not 100% certain an item is original, I will state that it is, or may be, a re-release item. T's nothing wrong with re-release items, but bidders should know exactly what they are buying. TITLE WAGES OF VIRTUE FORMAT Glass Slide; 3 1/4" x 4" CAST Gloria Swanson; Ben Lyon; Norman Trevor; Ivan Linow DIRECTOR Alan Dwan STUDIO Paramount GENRE Silent/Romance DATE 1924 The glass slide is "framed" by the standard cardboard frame, which is in good condition, with smudges and staining. The glass pane is in excellent condition. The graphic design is outstanding. The bottom, playdate area is unmarked. T are NO scratches, chips, cracks, water damage, or fading. T has been NO restoration or cleaning. The colors are richer and brighter, and the contrast is sharper, than the poor JPEG images suggest. Any glare, or reflection on the JPEG showing the entire slide is from the digital camera flash. It is NOT on the glass slide. Be aware that the JPEGS you are viewing are likely considerably larger than the actual glass slide, and consequently, any flaws or imperfections, are magnified. WHAT IS A GLASS SLIDE? Glass slides were first made during the early 1910s. They were used to show "previews" of coming attractions, and were projected before the films began, and between films of double feature presentations. They continued to be made through the early 1950s, but were used much less frequently after movie trailers began to be shown in the 1930s. Glass slides continued to be produced and used in New Zealand through the 1980s.T are two different, standard types of Glass Slides. One type consists of two panes of glass, each measuring 3 1/4" by 4". One pane of glass holds the emulsion which creates the graphic image. The second pane is completely clear, and merely protects the first pane from potential damage. The glass panes are secured by pieces of black tape on the edges of the two panes, slightly overlapping the front and back. The second type of Glass Slide is a single pane "framed" by two pieces of light brow...
