From
the collection of a well known Hollywood-based movie historian,
collector, author, archivist and intimate of the late great Hal
Roach, comes this holy grail item for Roach fans. An original Cutting
Continuity to the classic LAUREL & HARDY feature, A CHUMP AT O
XFORD. This Hal Roach studios original file copy if for the
American version of the L&H feature. The Cutting continuity
features a description of every shot in the film along with all
titles, shot # and how many 35mm feet and frames of film into the
feature that the shot appears.
This information would be compiled by the Film Editor (in this case Bert Jordan) and would serve as a record of all the shots for other key departments at the studio and for filing as proof of content with the U.S. Copyright office (often in lieu of sending an actual print of the film).

and back cover pages. Continuity is dated August 31, 1939 and is

Ultra rare Continuity is an amazing artifact from the golden age of movie making and sure to be prized collectible from this classic Laurel & Hardy feature and the immortal Hal Roach.
