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:
Mr. and Mrs. Valduzzi come to see Judge James Hardy for advice on how to prevent the loss of their home. He senses the aged Italian immigrant couple has a grown daughter who is ashamed of her parents and has not kept in contact with them. Failing to locate her himself, he offers money to his teenage son, Andy, if he can locate her. Andy has been having his usual problems with his car and girlfriends and eagerly accepts the challenge, since he needs the money. At the same time he plans on getting some girl to enter a school essay contest and split the winning prize money with her. Since he supposes that a daughter of the daughter might have Valduzzi as a middle name, he sees three high school girls, Euphrasia V. Clark, Clarabelle V. Lee and Elvee Horton, in the hope that one of them may be the right one. Not only do they all reject Andy's unethical proposal about the essay, but Euphrasia blackmails him into taking her to the Fourth-of-July fireworks show, which causes him more ...

More Info on Lewis Stone
:
Lewis Stone was born in 1879, and he was one of those actors who looked "old" even when he was in his thirties, and he continued acting until his late sixties, making over 200 movies, including many silents. He seemed destined to be a second tier actor, never quite being a major star, but in 1937 his studio, MGM, made a movie centered around a kindly judge and his family in a small town, You're Only Young Once, and Stone had the lead role as Judge James K. Hardy. But while the movie proved very successful, and spawned a slew of sequels, it was the judge's teen son,
Andy Hardy
, played by Mickey Rooney, who proved most popular, even though he was a pretty minor character in that first movie (note that MGM did not even picture him on the original poster!). The focus of the series quickly spread to that character, although Lewis Stone would remain in to the series, proving to be America's most quintessential "father figure" (at least until Robert Young came along in radio and TV's "Father Knows Best"). Some of his other movies include: The Patriot (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina,
Grand Hotel
, Scaramouche, Lost World, and
Prisoner of Zenda
. Stone passed away in 1953 at the age of 73.
More Info on Mickey Rooney
:
Mickey Rooney was a leading child star starting in the 1920s, becoming the top juvenile actor in America in the 1930s, and he continued with a series of movies with
Judy Garland
in the 1940s. His career spanned every decade, with Rooney working until he passed away in 2014. Some of his movies include: The Bold & The Brave (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film),
Human Comedy
(nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film),
Black Stallion
(nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Breakfast at Tiffany's, Captains Courageous, Babes In Arms (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and
National Velvet
. He was an American treasure!
More Info on Cecilia Parker:
Cecilia Parker was a Canadian-born English actress from the 1920s to the 1950s. Some of her movies include:
The Fugitive
, Enter Madame, and High School Girl. She also played Marian Hardy in several of the

Andy Hardy
series of movies. Some of her other movies include: The White Angel, Polo Joe, and
Souls at Sea
. Holden passed away in 1973 at the age of 79.
