Mack Sennett (born Michael Sinnott; January 17, 1880 – November 5, 1960) was a Canadian-born American director and actor and was known as the innovator of slapstick comedy in film. During his lifetime he was known at times as the "King of Comedy". His short Wrestling Swordfish was awarded the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film in 1932 and he earned an Academy Honorary Award in 1937.
Born Michael Sinnott in Richmond Ste-Bibiane Parish, Quebec, Canada, he was the son of Irish Catholic John Sinnott and Catherine Foy, married 1879 in Tingwick St-Patrice Parish (Québec). The newlyweds moved the same year to Richmond, where John Sinnott was hired as a laborer. By 1883, when Michael's brother George was born, John Sinnott was working in Richmond as an innkeeper; he worked as an innkeeper for many years afterward. John Sinnott and Catherine Foy had all their children and raised their family in Richmond, then a small Eastern Townships village. At that time, Michael's grandparents were living in Danville, Québec. When he was 17, Michael Sinnott moved to Connecticut.
Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the silent era. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both adulation and controversy.
Chaplin's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship. As his father was absent and his mother struggled financially, he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine. When he was 14, his mother was committed to a mental asylum. Chaplin began performing at an early age, touring music halls and later working as a stage actor and comedian. At 19 he was signed to the prestigious Fred Karno company, which took him to America. Chaplin was scouted for the film industry, and began appearing in 1914 for Keystone Studios. He soon developed the Tramp persona and formed a large fan base. Chaplin directed his own films from an early stage, and continued to hone his craft as he moved to the Essanay, Mutual, and First National corporations. By 1918, he was one of the best known figures in the world.

Mack Sennett bathing beauties were pin-up girls for the soldiers of the First World War. Gloria Swanson, Marie Prevost, Phyllis Haver, Juanita Hansen, Claire Anderson, and Mary Thurman were Sennett bathing girls at this time. Comedy pioneer Mack Sennett was best known for his rollicking and outrageous slapstick comedies, which often included the bumbling antics of his Keystone cops and such vaudeville comedy stunts as the pie-in-the-face gag. Particularly popular were Sennett's "bathing beauties," a group of young starlets who appeared bare-legged in Sennett's comedies. The sex appeal of these young actresses raised the ire of some temperance activists, and Sennett received hundreds of letters protesting his exploitation of these women's bodies. Despite such protests, the bathing beauti...

Bing Crosby sings and reveals for the first time on film that he has a natural gift for comedy. Mack Sennett had enjoyed international success as a producer of silent comedy films but his only successes in the sound era were the group of short films first starring Bing Crosby and then W.C, Fields. This is the film that got the series off to a great start. I can only find one or two songs excerpts on You Tube from this film, I wanted to share the whole film with you

Charlie, competing with his rival's race car, offers Mabel a ride on his motorcycle but drops her in a puddle. He next joins some dubious characters in abduction of his rival just before the race for the Vanderbilt Cup. With her boyfriend locked up in a shed, Mabel takes his place. Charlie does what he can to sabotage the race, even causing Mabel's car to overturn. Charles Chaplin's quarrelling with Mabel Normand on this film almost ended Chaplin's film career. He disagreed with her ideas for comedy and she was quick to dismiss his own ideas for more refined comic business. An argument ensued (according to Chaplin in his autobiography, one or two extras had wanted to 'slug' him but Normand had stopped them) and filming for that day was called off. Mack Sennett heard about the argument and...

Ralph Edwards welcomes Gloria Swanson to "This Is Your Life", with guest appearances by Mack Sennett, Francis X. Bushman and Rod LaRocque. Note: this is NOT the complete show (at least seven minutes of the ending are missing). However, until, and if, "This Is Your Life: Volume Two" is ever released on DVD, and if they include this show, and the Frances Farmer "tribute", I can't find these shows anywhere else. It would be nice if Antenna TV or MeTV would rerun these programs, as this program in particular has some historical significance.
