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 mother and daughter compete over the same singing role and, unbeknownst to each other, the same man.
Trivia
:
The exterior for the barnyard sequence utilized the same sets as MGM's Summer Stock (1950), which was in production at the same time.
This film was a turning point for Ann Sothern on two counts acknowledging her age. It was her first portrayal of a mother with a grown child, and the plot involved a playwright rejecting Sothern's character for a role -- despondently remarking "I thought she was younger!" -- which he then proceeds to offer to her daughter.

More Info on Jane Powell
:
Jane Powell is an actress and singer from the 1940s to the 1980s. Some of her movies, including many MGM musicals, include: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Royal Wedding, Marie, A Date with Judy, and Two Weeks in Love. She broke into movies in an interesting way, as a teenager. She had been singing coloratura soprano on the radio when she was 14, and was given a chance to be in "Song of the Open Road" with W.C. Fields in 1944. I bet no one would have guessed she would go on to be a major musical star of the 1950s! As of 2020, she is still alive at the age of 91!
More Info on Ann Southern:
Ann Sothern (born Harriette Arlene Lake) was an actress from the 1920s to the 1980s. She had small uncredited showgirl-like parts from 1927 to 1933, and then she started getting much better roles, and she was a leading lady in the 1930s, and stayed a top star through the 1950s. Some of her movies include: A Letter to Three Wives, Footlight Parade, The Best Man, The Whales Of August (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and scores of others, and she is also well remembered from the "Private Secretary" and "The Ann Sothern Show" TV series in the 1950s. She passed away in 2001 at the age of 92.
More Info on Barry Sullivan
:
Barry Sullivan was a stage and movie actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. He was the seventh son of a seventh son, which was considered very fortunate at that time! He was born in 1912, and he had minor jobs until he got a Broadway role in 1936, and he continued on Broadway until 1940, when he moved to Hollywood, but he did not have much success there, and he returned to New York, where he resumed acting on the stage. He never became a major star either on Broadway or in the movies, but he became a highly successful secondary actor, and perhaps his best role was in 1952's "The Bad and the Beautiful". He appeared in 79 movies and 105 TV shows, and many Broadway shows, over a 51 year period. He passed away in 1994 at the age of 81.
More Info on Carmen Miranda
:
Carmen Miranda was a vivacious Portuguese musical performer in many 1940s movies, best remembered for wearing a hat that looked like a basket of fruit!
The following was submitted to us by a fan of Ms. Miranda: Carmen Miranda was born Maria do Carmo Miranda Da Cunha on February 9, 1909 near Porto, Portugal in the town of Marco de Canavezes. Not long after her birth her family moved to Brazil, where her father was involved in the produce business. The family settled in the then-capital city of Rio de Janeiro. After leaving school, Carmen got a job at a local store, and often began singing on the job. Before long she was discovered and got a singing job on a local radio station. She ultimately got a recording contract with RCA. By 1928 she was a genuine superstar in Brazil. As with other popular singers of the era, she eventually made her way into the film world. She made her debut in the Brazilian documentary A Voz do Carnaval (1933). Two years later she appeared in her first feature film, Alo Alo Brasil (1935). However. it was Estudantes (1935) that seemed to solidify Carmen in the minds of the Brazilian movie audiences. Now they realized she could act as well as sing. Although there was three years between Alo, Alo Carnaval (1936) and Banana-da-Terra (1939), Carmen continued to churn out musical hits in Brazil. The latter film would be the last in her home country.
In late 1939 Carmen arrived, with much fanfare in the press, in New York City. She was now ready to capture Americans' hearts with her talent. She appeared in some musical revues on Broadway and, just as everyone thought, was a huge hit. In 1940 Carmen was signed to appear in the Twentieth Century-Fox production Down Argentine Way (1940), with Betty Grable and Don Ameche. The only complaint that critics had was the fact that Carmen was not on the screen enough. In 1941 she was, again, teamed with Ameche in addition to Alice Faye in That Night in Rio (1941). The film was extremely popular with the theater patrons. Her unique songs went a long way in making her popular. It was after A Week End In Havana (1941) that American cartoon artists began to cash in on Carmen's ever-growing popularity.
In the 1930s and 1940s cartoons were sometimes shown as a prelude to whatever feature film was showing. Sure enough, the cartoon version of Carmen came wriggling across the screen, complete with her trademark fruit hat and wide, toothy grin. In 1942 Carmen starred in Springtime in the Rockies (1942) with Betty Grable and Cesar Romero, both of whom she had worked with before. It was shortly after this that America began adopting her style of dress as the latest fad. 1944 saw her in three films: Something for the Boys (1944), Four Jills in a Jeep (1944) and Greenwich Village (1944). The first two did well at the box-office, but the last one left a lot to be desired. It was her last busy year in film. Carmen made one film each in 1945, '46, '47 and '48. After that she didn't make a film for two years, until Nancy Goes to Rio (1950), a production for MGM. Once again didn't make a film for several years, returning with Scared Stiff (1953). She did stay busy, singing on the nightclub circuit and appearing on the relatively new medium of television.
However, "Scared Stiff" was her final performance on the silver screen. On August 4, 1955 she suffered a heart attack, although she didn't realize it at the time, during a live broadcast of "The Jimmy Durante Show" (1954). She went home after attending a party in 1955. Early the next morning, on August 5, Carmen suffered a fatal heart attack (especially unusual, as she neither drank or smoked). She was just 46 years old. Her body was flown to her adopted country of Brazil, where her death was declared a period of national mourning.
More Info on Louis Calhern
:
Louis Calhern was an actor from the 1920s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Notorious, Duck Soup, Magnificent Yankee (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and the Asphalt Jungle. He is best remembered for his middle-aged roles, most notably in The Asphalt Jungle, but he started as a Broadway actor before World War I, then served in the war, and after he made a few films, but mostly was a Broadway actor until 1931 and then he worked steadily in movies, but he became more successful as he aged! He passed away in 1956 at the age of 61.
More Info on Scotty Beckett
:
Scotty Beckett was a child star who appeared in 15 "Our Gang" shorts in the mid-1930s, and he had much success as a child and juvenile over the next decade, perhaps having his greatest success playing the young Al Jolson in The Jolson Story in 1946. He seemed prepared to make the transition from juvenile actor to young adult, appearing with many of the top younger stars of that time, including Elizabeth Taylor, but he started a rapid descent into problems with drugs, alcohol, and violence, and although he lived another 20 years, passing away in 1968 at the age of 38. His final years were marked with one awful event after another, and he is surely one of the saddest Hollywood stories of a child actor gone wrong.
More Info on Robert Z. Leonard
:
Robert Zigler Leonard (October 7, 1889 – August 27, 1968) was an American film director, actor, producer, and screenwriter. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for The Divorcee and The Great Ziegfeld. Both were nominated for Best Picture, and the latter won. Known by his nickname Pop, Leonard was brought in late by MGM as a reliable director who could get its Pride and Prejudice (1940), starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, onto the big screen. One of the more unusual credits in his filmography is the film noir thriller The Bribe (1949) with its sleazy settings, slippery characters, and steamy atmosphere.
More Info on Joe Pasternak
:
Joseph Herman Pasternak (September 19, 1901 – September 13, 1991) was a Hungarian-born American film producer in Hollywood. Pasternak spent the Hollywood "Golden Age" of musicals at MGM Studios, producing many successful musicals with singing stars like Deanna Durbin, Kathryn Grayson and Jane Powell, as well as swimmer/bathing beauty Esther Williams' films. He produced Judy Garland's final MGM film, Summer Stock, which was released in 1950. Pasternak worked in the film industry for 45 years, from the later silent era until shortly past the end of the classical Hollywood cinema in the early 1960s.
