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 Dead End Kids are out of the slums of New York's East Side and running around the sunny valleys of California looking for a way to make a quick buck. The idea of working never enters their minds until Halop is egged on by Grey to show his capabilities. Before long, he and Hall are working on the ranch of Galli, an elderly Italian woman who treats her workers like human beings instead of animals. Galli's son disappeared as an infant, and Halop tries to convince her that he is that long lost son, thus possibly sharing in her wealth. Galli is such a good person that Halop is soon motivated by respect instead of greed, so he devises a plan to help her when truckers and a labor organization band together to keep her crops from making it to market.
Trivia

Billy Halop and Huntz Hall were now joined by fellow Dead End Kids Gabriel Dell, Bernard Punsly, and Bobby Jordan, the latter making his first of three appearances in the Universal series.
The series was now officially coined "The Dead End Kids and The Little Tough Guys". However, much of the attention for most of these entries would be on the original Dead End Kids, while the Little Tough Guys were often reduced to walk-on cameos.

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 Bobby Jordan
:
Bobby Jordan was an actor from the 1930s to the 1950s. He is best remembered for being one of the original
Dead End Kids
, and he continued in that series for years. He passed away in 1965 at the age of 42 from cirrhosis.
More Info on Nan grey
:
Nan Grey (also known as Nan Grey Laine) was an actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. Some of her movies include:
Dracula's Daughter
, The Invisible Man Returns,
The House of the Seven Gables

More Info on Little Tough Guys
:

They appeared in movies from the 1930s to the 1940s and whose members have included Frankie Thomas, Charles Duncan, Harris Berger, Hal E.
