Important Added Info: Note that this still is somewhat of a mystery. It has the still code for Tillie and Gus, and it appears that Fields and Skipworth are likely in a candid pose with the director, but this movie was directed by Francis Martin, and we could not find any images of him. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. 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 left of the still. Condition: very good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). There are some faint smudges and light rippling around the edges.
