Some people in the movie collectible world have said, that, glass slides are much rarer than the paper poster memorabilia from the same film and are very rare pieces of film history.

More Info on Colbert Colbert
:
Claudette Colbert was a top Hollywood actress from the 1920s to the 1960s. She was born in Paris, but came to New York City as a preteen, and went to public schools. After graduating, she appeared in more than a dozen Broadway plays, and made her first films for Paramount Pictures in their Astoria, Queens studio. She quickly became a star and was soon a major star. Some of her movies include:
It Happened One Night
(winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Midnight, The Palm Beach Story, Bluebeard's Eighth Wife,
Cleopatra
(the 1934 version, in the title role),
Since You Went Away
(nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Private Worlds (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and scores of others! She passed away in 1996 at the age of 92.
More Info on Robert Young:
Robert Young was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1907, but he grew up mostly in Los Angeles. After graduation, he performed at the Pasadena Playhouse, had a few bit parts in silent films, and joined a stock company, and in 1931 was signed by MGM to a contract. He was very likeable, but rather bland (studio head Louis B. Mayer said he has no sex appeal!), and he starred in many MGM movies of the 1930s opposite some of their top female stars. When his contract with MGM ended, he worked for several studios, and he made some of his best remembered movies in the 1940s, including
The Enchanted Cottage
, They Won't Believe Me and Crossfire. In 1949, with his movie career declining, Young took the lead in a new radio show,
Father Knows Best
. Except for Young, it had an entirely different cast from the later TV series, and in it, the father was controlling and ordered around his saintly wife and annoying kids, and he was far from a good father (by today's standards he would be called verbally abusive)! In 1954, the show moved to TV, but only Robert Young stayed with the show. Beautiful saintly former movie star Jane Wyatt was cast as his wife, and the show struggled at first (changing networks twice) but ultimately became a big hit, and went off the air in 1960 only because Young wanted to do something else after 12 years in the same role, and it has been on the air in reruns ever since. In 1969, Young had a second giant hit TV show,
Marcus Welby, M.D.
, where he played a saintly old doctor with a young brash assistant (played by James Brolin), and it stayed on the air until 1976. Contrary to his ultra-nice image, Young had been an alcoholic for many years, and it was not until the show went off the air that he finally got sober. He appeared in a few TV movies before he passed away in 1998, at the age of 91.
More Info on George Brent
:
George Brent was a Warner Bros. leading actor from the 1930s to the 1950s. He was frequently chosen as a leading man by
Bette Davis
and other top actresses. Some of his movies include: The Old Maid, 42nd Street, and
Dark Victory
. He was married six times, and among his wives were
Ann Sheridan
and Ruth Chatterton. He passed away in 1979 at the age of 75.
More Info on Max Baer
:
Max Baer was a
heavyweight boxing champion
who won the championship by knocking out huge Primo Carnera, and a year later lost it to "Cinderella Man"
Jimmy Braddock
(but the movie called Cinderella Man grossly misrepresented Baer, both factually and personally). He appeared in a few movies in the 1930s and 1940s. Baer died in 1959 at the age of 50. His son was Max Baer Jr., who was born in 1937, and became famous as Jethro on TV's "The Beverly Hillbillies" and for producing "Macon County Line", a sleeper hit.
More Info on Charles Arnt
:
Charles Arnt was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Roman Scandals, The Shop Around the Corner, and Sweet Bird of Youth. He passed away in 1990 at the age of 83.
