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:
A fictional-story film in which many of the people seen in it are using their real name portraying the character who shows up in this fictional film in a completely fictional-and-staged setting, which means their role name is their own name, and is not any combination of "Self": The fictional J. D. Forbes, head of the (fictional) Four Star Studios in Hollywood, informs his associate producers that business and attendance at Four Star Films has tanked, and changes must be made. J. D. has decided that the movie-going public has to be offered down-to-earth entertainment such as that offered by a band leader named Kay Kyser, who puts on a radio and-live theatre program called "The Kollege of Musical Knowledge," and Forbes dictates to his hirelings to "get me Kay Kyser." When Chuck Deems---a fictional character playing the manager of a 'real' band---gets the studio offer, he and band members Ginny Simms, Sully Mason, Ish Kabiddle, Harry Babbitt and the others are all fired up at the ...
Trivia
:
In the movie, Kay Kyser mentions having come from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. That was his real home town, and also the birthplace of modern jazz musician Thelonious Monk.
This movie provides a rare opportunity to see three of the most influential Hollywood columnists active at the time. Sheilah Graham, Hedda Hopper and Jimmy Starr all appear as themselves in the press conference / party scene at the house.
The film was popular and earned a profit of 9,000.
Lucille Ball is dressed up as a baby with a teddy bear and a big lollipop on the Glass Slide (see images).

More Info on Kay Kyser
:
Kay Kyser was an bandleader and radio personality from the 1930s to the 1980s, who appeared in a few movies, usually as himself, including: Carolina Blues, Around the World, and Playmates. He had a radio show called "College of Musical Knowledge". He passed away in 1985 at the age of 80.
More Info on Adolphe Menjou:
Adolphe Menjou was an actor from the 1910s to the 1960s. He was born in 1890 in Pittsburgh (even though he seemed European!) to a French father and an Irish mother, and his father disapproved of show business, but while at college, Adolphe changed his major to liberal arts and started appearing in plays. He moved to New York when he was 25, but couldn't make it on Broadway, and appeared in minor movies in the middle 1910s. He served in
World War I
and then afterwards went behind the camera working as a production manager. In 1921, he moved to Hollywood, and got leading roles in movies and became a major star throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and then he seamlessly switched to character roles. He had a wonderful part in
Paths of Glory
as the slimy General Broulard near the end of his career. Some of his other movies include:
Little Miss Marker
, Golden Boy, The Marriage Circle, and
Stage Door
. He passed away in 1963 at the age of 73.
More Info on May Robson:
May Robson (born Mary Jeannette Robison) was an Australian actress (born to English parents) from the 1900s to the 1940s. She was born in 1858, and her parents moved back to England when she was 13, and she ran away and got married when she was 17, and she moved with her husband to Texas to start a cattle ranch! She quickly had three children, and then her husband died, and she took up acting to try to support her family. She was a stage actress in the 1880s through the early 1900s, but she then appeared in some silent movies, and alternated between screen and stage until 1926, when she solely made movies! She became the actress first called whenever there was a part for a grandmother! She was the earliest born actress to receive an Oscar nomination which was for her role as Apple Annie in "Lady for a Day". Some of her other movies include: A Night Out, The King of Kings, Chicago, If I Had a Million,
Alice in Wonderland
, Anna Karenina, A Star Is Born, and
Bringing Up Baby
. Robson passed away in 1942 at the age of 84.
More Info on Lucille Ball:
Lucille Ball was an actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. While many people only know her as the star of TV's "
I Love Lucy
" (perhaps the most successful TV sitcom of all time), she had a long career at RKO for over ten years prior, and some of her movies include: Top Hat,
Stage Door
, Mame, Valley of the Sun, and the Dark Corner. In addition to appearing on the "
I Love Lucy

More Info on Dennis O'Keefe
:
Dennis O'Keefe (born Edward Vance Flanagan) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was about as far from an overnight success as you could be! He was born in 1908 in Iowa to vaudevillian parents, and he tried to break into films in the late 1920s under his birth name combined with his nickname, "Bud" Flanagan. Starting in 1930, he appeared in dozens of movies each year as an uncredited extra (usually as a tough guy). In 1937, he met Clark Gable while an extra on "
Saratoga
", and Gable liked what he saw and put in a good word for O'Keefe, and MGM signed him to a contract, at which point they renamed him "Dennis O'Keefe". But he didn't get many good roles at MGM, and when his contract expired in 1940, he became a freelancer and had three memorable roles in the 1940s, "
Topper Returns
" in 1941, "The Leopard Man" in 1943, and "T-Men" in 1947 (which O'Keefe was the co-screenwriter on). He also worked on radio starting in the mid 1940s. A longtime smoker, he passed away from lung cancer in 1968, at the age of 60.

Arsenic and Old Lace
, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World,
Top Hat
, Lost Horizon, Holiday, Trouble in Paradise, Pocketful of Miracles, and many others. He had a second career many years later doing voiceovers, including many on TV's "
The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
". Horton passed away in 1970 at the age of 84.

Kay Kyser
in 1937 and appeared in three movies with him, singing solos. In 1941, she got a national radio show. Around that time, she started making lots of appearances at Army and Navy bases, helping the morale of soldiers and sailors during
