COMEDY CLASSIC SERIES CONTINUES
At Edison St/THE ORGAN LOFT as
MADBEL NORMAND LIGHTS UP THE
SCREEN January 23rd & 24th at 7:30pm
Mabel Normand was one of the comedy greats of early film.
In an era when women were deemed ’not funny enough’ it
seems film history has forgotten her contributions. Her films
debuted the Keystone Cops, Charlie Chaplin’s tramp and the
pie in the face gag. Mabel co-starred with all the early greats.
She was the only comedian to work with Charlie Chaplin,
Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, Mack Sennett, D.W. Griffith, Harold
Lloyd, Mary Pickford, Hal Roach, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, etc.
About the only one that she didn’t have a chance to work with
was Buster Keaton.
When Mack Sennett’s Keystone Comedies began all of
Sennett’s early ideas seemed to revolve around Normand. By
1912 Normand was writing her own films and by 1914 she was
directing her films. She was one of the stars of the very first
full length comedy, TILLIE’S PUNCTURED ROMANCE along
with Marie Dressler, Charlie Chaplin and Mack Swain.
Mabel Normand’s popularity led her to producing and
starring in a number of feature-length comedies that included
“The EXTRA GIRL”
In this 1923 comedy Mabel Norman plays a small town girl
who wants to be a motion picture star. She wins a contract
when a photo of a very pretty girl is sent tot he studio instead
of her picture. When she arrives in Hollywood the fun begins!
