Auction History Result 9y1343 TILLIE'S PUNCTURED ROMANCE 8x10 key book still 1928 Louise Fazenda & strongwoman Babe London! Date Sold 10/26/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Tillie's Punctured Romance, the 1928 A. Edward Sutherland silent circus screwball comedy (produced by Al Christie; about the ringmaster of a circus, played by W.C. Fields, who schemes to get the owner of the circus into the lion cage, so he will be killed and the ringmaster will take over, and later, he ends up using the circus animals to help the troops in World War I!) starring W.C. Fields, Chester Conklin, Louise Fazenda (in the title role as Tillie), Mack Swain, Doris Hill, and Babe London (a large heavyset woman who was very typecast in comedy roles involving large women). Note that this movie bears no relation to the 1914 Charlie Chaplin movie of the same name, but because this movie is a "lost movie" (no known examples of it exist), it is often mistakenly described as a remake, when all the two movies have in common is the same name. 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. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
