Four Daughters, 1938, Movie Glass Slide, Priscilla Lane, John Garfield, Click images to enlarge Description You are bidding on an ORIGINAL “coming attraction” Movie Glass/Lantern Slide that was designed to promote the theatrical release of the 1938, drama feature, “Four Daughters”. 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: Adam Lemp, the Dean of the Briarwood Music Foundation, has passed on his love of music to his four early adult daughters – Thea, Emma, Kay and Ann – who live with him and his sister, the girls’ Aunt Etta, in the long time family home. Of the four, Kay has the greatest promise as a musical performer, specifically as a singer. Theirs is a loving family, however much the girls exasperate their father with their love of popular music, since he loves only the classics, most specifically Beethoven. The girls support each other however they can, but each is an individual with her own distinct personality and wants, including the type of man each wants as a husband. Practical but deep in her heart romantic Emma has long been courted by their next door neighbor, unassuming florist Ernest Talbot, and clever Thea wants to be Mrs. Ben Crowley, he a wealthy up and coming banker with prospects. Only the youngest, the fun loving Ann, states that she doesn’t want to get married. Their collective lives change with the entry into their lives of two men. The first is Adam’s old friend’s son, popular music composer and conductor Felix Deitz, who easily gets a job at the foundation using his natural and sincere charm which he applies to all equally. Many women misconstrue that charm for romantic interest. The second is Felix’s acquaintance, musician Mickey Borden, who he hires to orchestrate his latest composition. Mickey has a chip on his shoulders about what life has dealt him, which he uses in turn as a reason for living a reckless life. The two men make each of the four daughters reexamine what she thinks she wants in life, or more precisely who she wants, which for all may be the same person. Trivia: John Garfield’s first film and an Oscar nomination. John Garfield admitted that he based the way he played his character, Mickey Borden, on Oscar Levant. John Garfield was the only Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee that year that was from a Best Picture nominated film. When Jeffrey Lynn did his screen test for the role of Felix, he was also shown John Garfield’s screen test. Upon seeing it, he correctly predicted that the newcomer would steal the show. Warner Brothers mounted a big publicity campaign to get John Garfield nominated for an Academy Award at the expense of his co-star Claude Rains. (The veteran character actor would land the first of his four Oscar nominations the following year for his work on Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).) Designed as a vehicle for Priscilla Lane, which also happened to have roles for her sisters, Lola Lane and Rosemary Lane. This was originally set to be a much bigger production and a vehicle for Errol Flynn. However, when he dropped out, the film was retooled into something a bit more modest. Nevertheless, it went on to be a big box office hit and scored five Academy Award nominations. Studio: Warner Brothers Date: 1938 Genre: Music, Drama, Romance Director(s): Michael Curtiz Producer(s): Hal B. Wallis Cast: Priscilla Lane as Ann Lemp John Garfield as Mickey Borden Rosemary Lane as Kay Lemp Jeffrey Lynn as Felix Deitz Lola Lane as Thea Lemp May Robson as Aunt Etta Gale Page as Emma Lemp Frank McHugh as Ben Crowley Claude Rains as Adam Lemp Dick Foran as Ernest Talbot More Info on Priscilla Lane: Priscilla Lane was an actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. She was one of the Lane Sisters (three sisters who performed together with Gale Page in a series of movies where they played four sisters). She also had a solid solo career in the 1940s. Some of her movies include: Four Daughters, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Roaring Twenties, and Saboteur. Note that most people would naturally assume that there were only three Lane sisters in real life, which was why they had to cast a non-sister in the role of the fourth movie sister. But actually, they DID have a fourth sister, Leota, but she had a screen test, and did so poorly that she was sent home (which surely must have made for strained holiday dinners!). Priscilla passed away in 1995 at the age of 79. More Info on Rosemary Lane: Rosemary Lane was an actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. She was one of the Lane Sisters (three sisters who performed together with Gale Page in a series of movies where they played four sisters). Some of her movies include: Four Daughters, The Oklahoma Kid, and Blackwell’s Island. Note that most people would naturally assume that there were only three Lane sisters in real life, which was why they had to cast a non-sister in the role of the fourth movie sister. But actually, they DID have a fourth sister, Leota, but she had a screen test, and did so poorly that she was sent home (which surely must have made for strained holiday dinners!). Rosemary passed away in 1974 at the age of 60. More Info on Lola Lane: Lola Lane was an actress from the 1920s to the 1940s. She was one of the Lane Sisters (three sisters who performed together with Gale Page in a series of movies where they played four sisters). Some of her movies include: Marked Woman, Four Daughters, Murder on a Honeymoon, and Lost Canyon. Note that most people would naturally assume that there were only three Lane sisters in real life, which was why they had to cast a non-sister in the role of the fourth movie sister. But actually, they DID have a fourth sister, Leota, but she had a screen test, and did so poorly that she was sent home (which surely must have made for strained holiday dinners!). Lola passed away in 1981 at the age of 75. More Info on Gale Page: Gale Page was an actress from the 1930s to the 1950s in movies such as They Drive by Night, Four Daughters, and Crime School. Before she was an actress, she was a radio performer, both as a blues singer and as a comic stooge on comedy shows! Page passed away in 1983 at the age of 69. More Info on Claude Rains: Claude Rains was born in 1889 in England, and if one were to make a list of the finest actors who made lots of movies but whom never won an Oscar, Rains would surely be near the very top of the list, if not the very top! You probably know of him as “Louis” in Casablanca (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), or as “Dr. Jaquith” in Now Voyager, or as Nazi “Alexander Sebastian” in Notorious (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), or for his tons of other great performances, but did you know that his first real acting role was as the title character in “The Invisible Man”? Of that he spent years as an acting teacher in England before he made movies, and that his two best students were young Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud? What an incredible voice, and what an incredible talent! He had many other fine roles, especially during the 1930s and 1940s. Among them are Lawrence of Arabia, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, Here Comes Mr. Jordan, Kings Row, The Wolf Man, They Won’t Forget, Mr. Skeffington (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and MANY more! He passed away in 1967 at the age of 77. More Info on John Garfield: John Garfield was born Jacob Julius Garfinkle in Brooklyn, New York in 1913. He was a tough kid from the start, and after his mother died when he was 7, he was sent to a school for problem kids, where he found boxing and acting. But he got very sick and he recovered, but it damaged his heart, so boxing was out, and that left acting. He won a scholarship to Maria Ouspenskaya’s drama school, and in 1932 joined the Civic Repertory Theatre in 1932, changing his name to Jules Garfield. He joined the Group Theater, where he met Clifford Odets, who wrote Golden Boy for him, and he was angry when he was not cast in the lead, and he left the Group Theater and went to Hollywood, where he was signed by Warner Bros, who changed his name to John Garfield. He made a major impact with his role in Four Daughters (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), opposite the Lane Sisters and Claude Rains, and he followed with the starring role in They Made Me a Criminal, opposite Rains, Ann Sheridan and the Dead End Kids, and both the movie and Garfield were wonderful! He tried to break out of the stereotyped “tough guy from the slums” roles, even appearing as a Spanish general in Juarez (!), but most of his next roles were of the same type. Three of his best movies were The Postman Always Rings Twice, Force of Evil, and Body and Soul (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film). He made a minor appearance in Gentleman’s Agreement to help the movie’s message about anti-Semitism be seen by more people. Garfield was caught up in the Blacklist, and when he was called to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, he refused to name names, and he was blacklisted. He returned to Broadway where he was finally able to star in a revival of Golden Boy. But that year he had a heart attack and died, under somewhat unusual circumstances. He was just 39, and he left behind a wife and two small children, both of whom later became actors (he had a third child who died while young). Garfield was one of the first “method actors” to have success in Hollywood, and he led the way for the later “rebels”, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando and James Dean. He only made 32 movies and I highly recommend them all! More Info on Jeffrey Lynn: Jeffrey Lynn (born Ragnar Godfrey Lind) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was a teacher for a number of years and did not begin acting until his early thirties. He never achieved major success, but he played lots of secondary roles, usually the kind of guy who didn’t get the girl, or the leading actor’s best friend. Some of his movies include: Four Daughters, Daughters Courageous, and Four Wives. He passed away in 1995 at the age of 86. More Info on Dick Foran: Dick Foran was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Change of Heart, Moonlight on the Prairie, Fort Apache, and Song of the Saddle. He passed away in 1979 at the age of 69. More Info on Frank McHugh: Frank McHugh was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was close friends with James Cagney and they appeared in eleven movies together. Some of his movies include: The Dawn Patrol, One Way Passage, Footlight Parade, Dodge City, and Mighty Joe Young. He passed away in 1981 at the age of 83. More Info on May Robson: May Robson (born Mary Jeannette Robison) was an Australian actress (born to English parents) from the 1900s to the 1940s. She was born in 1858, and her parents moved back to England when she was 13, and she ran away and got married when she was 17, and she moved with her husband to Texas to start a cattle ranch! She quickly had three children, and then her husband died, and she took up acting to try to support her family. She was a stage actress in the 1880s through the early 1900s, but she then appeared in some silent movies, and alternated between screen and stage until 1926, when she solely made movies! She became the actress first called whenever there was a part for a grandmother! She was the earliest born actress to receive an Oscar nomination which was for her role as Apple Annie in “Lady for a Day”. Some of her other movies include: A Night Out, The King of Kings, Chicago, If I Had a Million, Alice in Wonderland, Anna Karenina, A Star Is Born, and Bringing Up Baby. Robson passed away in 1942 at the age of 84. More Info on Michael Curtiz: Michael Curtiz was one of the greatest and least heralded directors of all time! He was born Mihaly Kertesz in Budapest, Hungary in 1886. He began acting and directing in Hungary in 1912. After WWI he started directing movies in Austria and Germany. In 1924, Curtiz directed his most ambitious film to date, Die Sklavenkonigin, which was set in ancient Egypt and tells of the oppression of the Jews under the rule of the Pharaoh. If this sounds remarkably similar to The Ten Commandments, which was being made in the U.S. by Cecil B. DeMille at the same time, it is because it was, and there are reports that Curtiz’ film was superior! Cecil B. DeMille rightly worried that a U.S. release of Die Sklavenkonigin would hurt the box office of his movie, and he was able to use his influence to keep it from being release in the U.S. at all that year (it would finally be released by FBO under the title of Moon of Israel in 1927). But executives at Warner Bros saw Die Sklavenkonigin, and they convinced Curtiz to sign with them and move to the U.S. in 1926. This was their second best decision ever (other than making the first partial sound movie, The Jazz Singer, the following year!). It took Curtiz a couple of years to get used to making English language films, but once he did, he became Warners’ top director, and he remained there for many years, with an output that puts EVERY other director to shame! He made many of the most memorable Warner Bros. movies of the 1930s and 1940s, including: Captain Blood (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Four Daughters (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Casablanca, Yankee Doodle Dandy (Casablanca & Yankee both came out in 1942). He directed SIX movies in 1939 alone, and he directed over 100 movies for Warner Bros, on top of the 64 movies he had directed earlier. Yet because he did not have a distinctive directorial style (“auteur”), he fell out of favor with the leading film critics of the 1960s (another wonderful director who has a similar problem is William Wyler). My two personal favorite Michael Curtiz movies (along with Casablanca and Yankee Doodle Dandy) are The Adventures of Robin Hood and Angels With Dirty Faces (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film). More Info on Hal B. Wallis: Harold Brent Wallis (October 19, 1898 – October 5, 1986) was an American film producer. He is best remembered for producing Casablanca (1942), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), and True Grit (1969), along with many other major films for Warner Bros. featuring such film stars as Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Bette Davis, and Errol Flynn. As a producer, he received 19 nominations for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Later on, for a long period, he was connected with Paramount Pictures and oversaw films featuring Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Elvis Presley, and John Wayne.
