The Keystone Comedies Collection
Content:
The Keystone Studios were founded in Glendale, California in 1912 by Mack Sennett (1880-1960) and soon became famous for a chaotic style of slapstick humour, often featuring wild car chases and custard pie capers. Sennett's two biggest stars at Keystone were Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle (1887-1933) and Mabel Normand (1892-1930) who feature here in this collection of classic silent comedy films. [www.play.com]
