The Kerb Step 1930

Star Item

Description

No title. An early road safety item! Forerunner of the Green Cross Code! Introductory intertitle reads: "The toll of the road goes on - through lack of a moment's thought! "Then 'the kerb step' is the best way to safety first - but don't do it like this" said Bobby Howes, the famous Star from "Mr. Cinders."
