keystone co. Roscoe Arbuckle Mabel Normand Ford Sterling
Trio of Famous Comedy Stars
ROSCOE ARBUCKLE, otherwise known to the public as “Fatty” and dearly beloved of the motion-picture audiences, is seen at his best in one of the late comedies of the Keystone Company, “A Little Band of Gold.” Arbuckle and Miss Normand excel in the recalcitrant husband and injured wife scenes in which they most frequently appear.
In this scene appear three of the best comedy people of the moving-picture stars, “Fatty,” Mabel Normand and Ford Ster¬ ling, all stars developed by Mack Sennatt, the Keystone director.
“Fatty” has essayed to steal a night off from the domestic joys of home, wife and mother-in-law, and plans a pleasant little supper with an interesting lady friend at a notable cafe. His enthusiasm is a trifle dashed when he sees a friend at a near-by table, and his plans are scattered entirely to the winds at the horrified entrance of an indignant mother-in-law and the neglected wife.
Both Arbuckle and Sterling have thoroughly mastered a facile art of comedy expression, and with the registry of Miss
Normand in the comedy scenes, the three make a screaming comedy trio.
Revised Version of the Bee
Prosperous motion-picture actor — Hello, Fred ! How are you getting along?
Ambitious actor — Fine ! Been busy as a bee all winter.
Prosperous motion-picture actor — Wonderful ! They tell me you have a plan to uplift the drama.
Ambitious actor — Yes, that’s why I am like the bee. I work three months in the summer and loaf all winter.
Cats !
“Have you noticed that vegetable that comes in here every morning and sits around all day, in the hope of getting taken on as an extra?” asked the motion-picture actress in search of a job.
“Why do you call her a vegetable?” said the actress who had landed the job.
“Well, she is capable of assimilating nourishment, she has a rudimentary intelligence, and she is rooted to one spot.”
