An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) A Trip Through the Paramount Studio, the 1927 documentary short featuring many of the studio's top actors and directors, including Richard Arlen, Mary Astor, Wallace Beery, Clara Bow, Louise Brooks, W.C. Fields, Harold Lloyd, Pola Negri, William Powell, Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Thelma Todd, Josef von Sternberg, Erich von Stroheim, and Fay Wray NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that someone in the pre-Internet days was guessing what movie this great still was from, and they wrote "ROUGH HOUSE ROSIE" on the back in pencil. But we feel certain that is wrong (unless Beery and Cantor were visiting Bow on the set, which is still very unlikely, because the still code is not correct). We think it is MUCH more likely that it is from this forgotten 1927 short, in which everyone working at Paramount at this time made a cameo appearance! We have never seen anything from this short before, and of course, this is a wonderful image of these three great stars, all in full costume from the movies they were then currently filming. Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above) and the still has slightly changed to a sepia color. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
