Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Photographs (illustrator). 1st Edition. Undoubtedly the well-nigh popular and assisting silent screen comedies ever fabricated. Mack Sennett'south Keystone Comedies enjoyed only a brief five-year existence. Notwithstanding in that short time, they created a legend all their own, made pop favorites of a most unusual collection of clowns and comics, and gave Sennett a lasting reputation as "The King of One-act." When most of the comedies disappeared from sight decades ago, all that remained were second-hand impressions passed downward through the years, which added further luster to the fable and created an entirely unreal aura around both Sennett and the Keystone concept of screen comedy. In the last few years, a highly representative number of original Keystones have reappeared with the reawakened interest in the silent screen, and in the not-too-distant future, interested readers volition be able to view well over half of the iv hundred-odd comedies made by Keystone between 1912 and 1917. Author Kalton C. Lahue, a wellknown skilful on the silent cinema, has done much research on the topic of Keystone. He has now brought forth a fresh and original evaluation of that particular way of comedy, the myths that have grown up around information technology, and the human being most responsible for the most irreverent screen farces always produced. Drawing upon original source cloth (some of which is reproduced within), including the recollections of Keystone's Business Director George Westward. Stout, who had never before been interviewed past anyone writing on Sennett or Keystone, the author sheds new low-cal on the early years and comedy of Keystone. Charlie Chaplin, Mabel Normand, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Charlie Murray, Ben Turpin, Hank Mann, Al St. John-they're all hither, forth with many of the lesser Keystone funmakers and those fantastic phenomena of silent screen comedy, the Keystone Kops. Every endeavor has been made to apply illustrations never before seen in print. Many original frame enlargements amid the 300 illustrations are used to document Keystone methods and techniques of production in a manner that ordinary production stills could not, making this volume a most useful and of import improver to the library of every one-act fan. Those who remember the Keystone Comedies will find fond memories within these pages; those unfortunate enough to take been born later will find what the memories are all about. The book appears to be new, only the dust jacket has some slight staining and article of clothing at the top and bottom (see photo). 315 p. Book.
