Some of her movies include: The Star Border, The One Best Pet, Snooky's Wild Oats, and Kid Days. If anyone knows more about this chimpanzee, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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). The other groups of keybook stills have 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: good to very good. The keybook stills have some minor wear and writing along the lower edge (they did not have the cover sheet mentioned above). Learn More about condition grades
