There was a movie called "Slide Kelly Slide" that came out in 1927 that was a baseball movie, but had nothing to do with Mike "King" Kelly, it was a fictional account of a Yankees pitcher. REA's description of the product is just conjecture. The song was definitely about Mike Kelly, the movie not at all, the shoe polish, who knows?
