This hand colored glass slide is an ORIGINAL and it is NOT a reproduction. 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 mine owner of the El Coronado Mime is ambushed on the road into town by thieves, who steal a wagon full of uranium ore. The owner is found by linemen of the Coronado Light & Power Company, but dies at the town's doctor's office before regaining consciousness.
The insurance company who has insured the ore, hires Roy to find out whether the wagon accidentally went off the road and if the ore fell into the Coronado Dam reservoir. Roy goes undercover. With the help of the town's doctor who Roy has known for years, he gets a job as a lineman, working for the power company, which supplies electricity to the mine.
The thieves tie up the mine workers and try to steal a second wagon load of uranium, but Roy gives chase and is able to get the ore away from the thieves. The thieves make a second attempt and steal the second load of ore after it had been taken to the warehouse. Roy finds out that the uranium will be delivered to a dry lake bed where a foreign government is going to land an airplane to pick up the uranium. Roy has to rush to try to stop the plane from taking off with the uranium.
Trivia
:
Overall, the film is very ordinary for a Rogers film, though with a little less music and a feeling that you've really seen this sort of thing several times before--which is true if you've seen many Roy Rogers films. It's entertaining but certainly won't tax your brain or leave a lasting impression. Thoroughly adequate with little to distinguish it one way or the other.

More Info on Roy Rogers (King of the Cowboys):
Roy Rogers (often referred to as the "King of the Cowboys") is considered one of the all-time top cowboy western actors (he started in the 1930s and worked in film until the 1950s) and was nearly always accompanied by his equally famous horse, Trigger. He had many female co-stars until he starred with Dale Evans, and they married, and remained married for over 50 years! After his movie career wound down, he and Evans had an extremely successful TV show. He passed away in 1998 at the age of 86.
More Info on Trigger (Smartest Horse in the Movies)
:
Trigger (July 4, 1934 – July 3, 1965) was a 15.3 hands (63 inches, 160 cm) palomino horse made famous in American Western films with his owner and rider, cowboy star Roy Rogers.
The original Trigger, named Golden Cloud, was born in San Diego, California. Though often mistaken for a Tennessee Walking Horse, his sire was a Thoroughbred and his dam a grade (unregistered) mare that, like Trigger, was a palomino.
Golden Cloud made an early appearance as the mount of Maid Marian, played by Olivia de Havilland in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). A short while later, when Roy Rogers was preparing to make his first movie in a starring role, he was offered a choice of five rented "movie" horses to ride and chose Golden Cloud. Rogers bought him eventually in 1943 and renamed him Trigger for his quickness of both foot and mind.
More Info on Dale Evans:
Dale Evans was an actress from the 1950s to the 1980s. She is certainly best remembered as Roy Rogers' on screen and off screen co-star and wife, but she had a really unusual life! She was married at 14 in 1926 and had a baby the following year, and by 1936, she had divorced her third husband, at which point she embarked on a musical career (she was only 26). She found success as a recording star and then got some film roles, and in 1944, she co-starred opposite Roy Rogers, and two years later, his wife passed away, and she divorced her husband, and the two married and starred in many movies together, along with their hit TV show. They remained married for over fifty years until Rogers' death in 1998. Evans herself passed away in 2001 at the age of 88.
More Info on Pat Brady
:
Pat Brady was an actor/musician from 1930s to the 1960s. He was the fiddle player the Sons of the Pioneers, and he appeared in many Roy Rogers movies including: Trigger, Jr., Bells of Coronado, The Golden Stallion, Law of the Plains, and Rio Grande. He also appeared on his TV show, driving a Jeep named Nellybelle! Brady passed away in 1972 at the age of 57.
More Info on Grant Withers
:
Grant Withers was an actor from the 1920s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Tillie's Punctured Romance, Other Men's Women, Phantom of Chinatown, My Darling Clementine, and Rio Grande. He passed away in 1959 at the age of 54.
More Info on Foy Willing
:
Foy Willing was a musician and actor from the 1940s to the 1970s. Willing formed the country western band "Riders of the Purple Sage" and appeared in many western films in the 1940s and 1950s. Some of his movies include: Heart of the Rockies, The Far Frontier, and Cowboy in the Clouds. He passed away in 1978 at the age of 64.
