A rather nice, though expensive, coming attraction glass slide for the 1928 Louise Brooks film, Beggars of Life, is for sale oneBay. Such slides were shown in theaters during the teens, twenties, and thirties to attraction attention to forthcoming films. I'm not sure where this one came from, but one can tell that Beggars was going to be shown on Saturday, March 16th (most likely 1929).
