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"

Trivia
:
The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

More Info on Hillary Brooke
:
Hillary Brooke was an actress from the 1930s to the 1950s. She was a beautiful tall blonde with a classy look, and early in her career, she adopted an English accent, and she became so typecast that she needed to keep using it throughout the rest of her career! She started out in straight dramatic movies including Big Town and its sequels, but in the mid-1940s, she was cast in some comedies with legends like Bob Hope, and she became a sort of "straight woman" to those comics. In the early 1950s, she had important roles in two TV series. She was the girlfriend of Gale Storm's father Charles Farrell in "My Little Margie", and bizarrely, she was Lou Costello's sort of girlfriend in "The Abbott & Costello Show". She passed away in 1999 at the age of 84.

Stanley Clements was an actor from the 1940s to the 1970s. He was previously married to Gloria Grahame. He was a member of The East Side Kids and he later replaced Leo Gorcey as leader of The Bowery Boys. Some of his movies include: Tall, Dark and Handsome, Tammy and the Doctor, Fort Yuma, Off Limits, and A Nice Little Bank That Should Be Robbed. He passed away in 1981 at the age of 55.

More Info on Carl Switzer
:
Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer was an actor from the 1930s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Beginner's Luck, Goin' Fishin', and The Defiant Ones. He will always be best remembered for his role as one of the "Our Gang" members. Switzer passed away in 1959 at the age of 31. He was murdered during an argument with a man whopurportedly owed Switzer .
More Info on Tommy Bond
:
Thomas Ross Bond (September 16, 1926 – September 24, 2005) was an American actor. Bond was best known for his work as a child actor for two nonconsecutive periods on Our Gang (Little Rascals) comedies (first as "Tommy" and later as "Butch"). Also, he is noted for being the first actor to appear onscreen as "Superman's pal" Jimmy Olsen, having portrayed the character in the film serials Superman (1948) and Atom Man vs. Superman (1950).
