Fields' "It's a Gift", with a family selling their belongings and traveling by car to California, where the father was promised a job; along the way, they have lots of mishaps, and their daughter's boyfriend keeps rescuing them, and when they finally get to California, the job has fallen through, but the manufacturer of the tires gives them a huge reward because they proved how wonderful their tires are, having survived a cross-country journey!) starring Harrison Ford (not the same Harrison Ford that we know as an actor today, but a very popular leading man of the 1920s), Bessie Love, May Robson, Frank Coghlan Jr. (billed as "Junior Coghlan"), and John Patrick NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: The Kodascope Library was Kodak's film rental library system. In the mid-1930s, it had a catalogue of approximately 700 1920s silent movies (mostly films from Paramount, Warner Bros. and First National) that were available for rental with a paid subscription to the service. The movies were copied from the original negatives and were produced on a stable non-nitrate, high-quality film, and were typically available in 5 reels, and individuals would rent these silent movies (and likely show them to organizations, perhaps in schools, churches or other public venues). There was also a simpler children's version of this called "Kodatoy" that wealthier families could buy so that their kids could watch silent movies at home! We were consigned 28 different groups of keybook stills which were used with the Kodascope Library (they were surely shown to prospective renters of movies, to help them choose which movies they wanted to rent). Each of the groups of keybook stills has a black cover sheet that comes with them that has information from the Kodascope Libraries together with the rental price (and in many cases, the listed price has been lowered by hand). While these keybook stills were used in the mid-1930s, we believe that they are originals from when the movies first came out in the mid-1920s. Note also that these keybook stills have been mounted to a linen type material and have an extra 1" at the top or left of the still, along with punch holes in that extra area (see our images). Condition: very good. The keybook stills and the cover sheet have some minor wear but are generally in nice condition (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
