56 GRIFFITH TURNS A PAGE The girls' costumes were the most daring— believe it or not— Seen in public up to 1917. Above, Chester Conklin is in the center or a scene of modified abandon. Marie Prevost is on his right. BELOW If Chaplin had a successor on the Keystone lot, Ben Turpin was undoubtedly it. Thanks to a pair of mag nificently crossed eyes and an uncanny knack of taking horrifying falls without killing himself, Turpin grew to be one of Sennett's most popular zanies. Misguided oculists urged Ben to undergo a slight operation that would cure his eyes. Being no fool, other than professionally, he always refused. He appears here in The Clever Dummy (1917).
