An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 11 1/4" [20 x 29 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Fast Company, the 1929 A. Edward Sutherland & Edwin H. Knopf New York Yankees baseball sports country-boy-comes-to-the-big-city-and-wins-the-World-Series screwball comedy ("Come along! We're on our way for a big laugh") starring Evelyn Brent, Jack Oakie, Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher, Sam Hardy, and Arthur Housman. Note that this movie was based on the George M. Cohan and Ring Lardner play, "Elmer the Great", with Jack Oakie in the lead role. But apparently, the producers of the movie were afraid that audiences would be turned off by the baseball connection, and did not mention it at all on their advertising! Just four years later, the play was again made into a movie, but this time under the original title, and with Joe E. Brown in the lead role, and the baseball connection was the main focus of the advertising! 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.
