This is a 1942 Movie Advertising Glass Slide advertising a new movie called “Bells of Capistrano” starring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Virginia Grey, Morgan Conway, Lucien Littlefield, Claire Dubray and Joe Staurch Jr. . It was directed by William Morgan. Gene Autry was a Hollywood leading man for many years. Smiley Burnette was always his sidekick in most movies and songs. The beautiful Virginia Grey debuted onscreen at age 10 and later would a popular leading lady. This was an early movie with sound, starring established actors of the period. These old glass slides were made in black and white and hand accented with color. During intermission they were displayed to advertise the next movie. Size is 4 x 3 inch and hand printed when it was coming to theater. These old movie slides are seldom found with actors of this class and this one is truly a piece of movie history. Collectors of movie memorabilia will find this a highlight to their collection.
