Auction History Result 2b1876 SPECIAL DELIVERY 8x11 key book still 1927 Eddie Cantor, Donald Keith & Jack Daugherty! Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Special Delivery, the 1927 Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle (billed as "William Goodrich") silent Secret Service post office postman mail delivery comedy (about the son of a postal inspector who everyone thinks is a loser, and he becomes a mailman thanks to his father, but then he gets mixed up with a stock swindler, and after many adventures, everything works out well in the end) starring Eddie Cantor, Jobyna Ralston, William Powell, Donald Keith, and Jack Daugherty. Note that after Fatty Arbuckle's career as an actor was ended by the scandal involving a girl dying at a "wild party", he was able to direct some movies, but only under pseudonyms, as in this case. This was one of the shorts that Arbuckle directed before passing away in 1933. It has a script that was written by silent comedy star Larry Semon together with star Eddie Cantor (surprisingly in a silent role, even though his fame was as a singer), and everyone agrees that this is an excellent comedy that has been sadly forgotten by just about everyone except major film buffs. Fortunately, Cantor's grandson had a print of the movie and released it on DVD, so it is still available for viewing. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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.
