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 doctor looks at his scrapbook and reflects on college days: how success at football took him from his studies, his flirtation with a widow and his true love. How his roommate helped him put things right.
Trivia:
Based on the story "Yesterday's Heroes," by William Brent in The Saturday Evening Post (18 Nov--2 Dec 1939).
While the film's credits state that the film was based on a Saturday Evening Post serial by William Brent, Screen Achievements Bulletin refers to Brent's work as a novel. According to a Twentieth Century-Fox press release, this was the first writing effort for Fox sound man William Brent. After his story was bought, Brent was made a writer at the studio. This was also screenwriters Irving Cummings, Jr. and William Conselman, Jr.'s first assignment. Both men were "second generation Hollywood," as Cummings' father was a director and Conselman's, a screenwriter. According to Twentieth Century-Fox press releases, the football sequences were shot at the Los Angeles Olympic Stadium and at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Despite a summer heat wave, the extras were required to wear heavy winter coats. As such, large wind machines behind huge cakes of ice were used to cool off the fields. Thirty-four college football players from local universities were used as extras in this film. They included USC's Ambrose Schindler, Bill Howard, Red Morgan, Tony Tonelli, Ollie Day and Owen Hansen, and UCLA's Billy Bob Williams, Bill Overlin and Bill Radovich. Location filming was done at the Inglewood Railway Station as the station received little use. Because only two freight trains used the station each day, movie extras were the only passengers ever to use the station. The press release also reported that the rental cost of a four-car train at the station was 0 per day. Hollywood Reporter reported that Fox borrowed Lewis Howard from Universal Pictures for this film.
