It was created to be projected onto the movie theatre screen before the film was released to promote the "coming attraction". 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.
Format:
Glass Slide: 3 1/4" x 4"
Plot Summary:
The Sea Raiders, a band of foreign agents, led by Carl Tonjes and Elliott Carlton, blow up a freighter on which Billy Adams and Toby Nelson are stowaways, seeking to avoid Brack Warren, a harbor patrol officer assigned to guard a new type of torpedo boat built by Billy's brother, Tom Adams. Intended targets or not, getting blown up does not set well with Billy and Toby and, together with their gang coupled with the members of the Little Tough Guys, they find the Sea Raiders' island hideout, investigate the seacoast underground arsenal of these saboteurs, get blasted from the air, dragged to their doom, become victims of the storm, entombed in a tunnel and even periled by a panther before they don the uniforms of some captured Sea Raiders and board a yacht that serves as headquarters for the Raiders.

More Info on Billy Halop
:
Billy Halop was born in New York City in 1920, and his family was in show business, and he became a performer on radio as a child. In 1935, he got his big break when he was cast as the lead juvenile, Tommy Gordon, in the play version of Sidney Kingsley's "
Dead End on Broadway
". Both the play and Halop were highly praised, and he stayed with the play for two years, and then went to Hollywood to make the film version with all the other juvenile actors reprising their roles as well. The movie was a huge success (who can forget Halop threatening to give Gorcey the "mark of the squealer"?) and Halop appeared in the early sequels, most notably in "
Crime School
" (with Humphrey Bogart) and "
Angels with Dirty Faces
" (with James Cagney and Ann Sheridan) and "They Made Me a Criminal" (with John Garfield and Ann Sheridan). But the studios stopped casting top stars in the movies, and they became B-movies, and Halop thought he had the looks and talent to have a solo career in A-pictures, which caused him to seek out roles without his juvenile co-stars. But better roles were not forecoming, and he mostly appeared in movies featuring "spin-off" groups of the Dead End Kids (but he never appeared with Leo Gorcey after 1939, indicating there was almost certainly some "bad blood" between them). Halop served in World War II, and after he got out he found there were next to no parts for him (one of his few parts was in "
Gas House Kids
", where he was paired with fellow washed-up former juvenile star Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer). Halop had had marital and financial problems and was an alcoholic, and he made only scattered TV appearances in the 1950s and 1960s, working at many regular jobs, including as a electric dryer salesman for the Leonard Appliance Company of Los Angeles. In 1960, Halop married for the third time, to Suzanne Roe, who had multiple sclerosis, and he was her caregiver, and doing that encouraged him to go to nursing school and become a registered nurse at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California. He came back in the public eye in the 1970s with his role as Bert Munson on the hit TV show, "All in the Family". He passed away in 1976, just 56 years old, but he will forever be remembered for his memorable early roles.
More Info on Huntz Hall:
Huntz Hall was an actor from the 1930s to the 1990s. He was one of the original members of the
Dead End Kids
when "Dead End" opened on Broadway in the 1930s, and he continued in the movie version of that play, and stayed a member for nearly 20 years, through many name changes, including
The Bowery Boys
(and at the very end of the series, he finally achieved top billing when they were billed as "Huntz Hall and the Bowery Boys"!). He passed away in 1999 at the age of 78.
More Info on Gabreil Dell
:
Gabriel Dell (October 8, 1919 – July 3, 1988) was an American actor and one of the members of what came to be known as the Dead End Kids, then later the East Side Kids and finally
The Bowery Boys
.
His other non-Dead End Kids/Bowery Boys films included The 300 Year Weekend (1971), Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (1971),
Earthquake
(1974), and Framed (1975). He also appeared in The Manchu Eagle Murder Caper Mystery (1975), and The Escape Artist (1982). Dell also made several appearances on television shows during the 1960s and '70s including
Ben Casey
, The Fugitive, Mannix, Then Came Bronson,
I Dream of Jeannie
, McCloud, Sanford and Son, and Barney Miller.
More Info on Bernard Punsly
:
Bernard Punsly (July 11, 1923 – January 20, 2004) was an American actor who later left show business to become a physician.
He auditioned for a part in the play Dead End, because he thought it might be fun. The success of the play led to a number of its child actors being cast in a 1937 film adaptation, Dead End, including Punsly. Its success led to the group appearing in a series of "Dead End Kids" films. He later appeared in an offshoot group of thosefilms starring what were dubbed the "The Little Tough Guys". Punsly worked with well known stars such as
Ronald Reagan
, James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, John Garfield, and
Humphrey Bogart
in these films.
More Info on Little Tough Guys
:
Little Tough Guys, who were an off-shoot of the Dead End Kids (basically an imitation of them, using similar actors). They appeared in movies from the 1930s to the 1940s and whose members have included Frankie Thomas, Charles Duncan, Harris Berger, Hal E. Chester (Hally Chester), David Gorcey, and William 'Billy' Benedict.
