An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Anne Nichols' Abie's Irish Rose, the 1928 Victor Fleming romantic newlyweds-of-different-religions-and-their-subsequent-difficulties melodrama ("Now! It's on the screen"; based on the classic Anne Nichols play about a Jewish man who marries an Irish girl) starring Jean Hersholt (as Solomon Levy), Charles 'Buddy' Rogers (in the title role as Abie Levy), Nancy Carroll (in the title role as Rosemary Murphy), J. Farrell MacDonald (as Patrick Murphy), Bernard Gorcey (as Isaac Cohen, which he had played in the Broadway stage version; much later famous as "Louie" in the "Bowery Boys" movies, starring his son Leo Gorcey!), Ida Kramer, Thelma Todd, and Camillus Pretal (as Rabbi Jacob Samuels). Note that Bernard Gorcey was star Leo Gorcey's father, and he played Louie, the owner of the Sweet Shop, where the boys frequently hung out, and Louie was often involved in slapstick gags, and many times Leo Gorcey would be tormenting or slapping his own father!

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!
