Re: The Mack Sennett Show?
Believe me, Mack Sennett had so many different ideas for projects during those years that were announced in newspaper columns, but never went beyond the talking stage.

Re: Question - Color vs Sound
Agnes, this is an excellent question on why sound took quicker than color. I don't know the answer, but here is one theory that may not be the full reason, but one possible aspect (and it's fresh on my mind, in fact, because of some program notes I just wrote for Slapsticon).

Re: Wedding Party
I think this is from a 1917 Triangle Comedy (title unknown). In the second shot it's Harry Depp far right with the bow tie and straw hat, and Clarry Lyndon is the balding bearded man with thin glasses toward the right in both shots. And as has already been mentioned, Claire Anderson, Mai Wells, Fran...

Actually, now that you mention it Lisa, you may be correct. Totheroh and Koenekamp look a bit alike, and I guess Rollie may be more likely to be working with Syd at that juncture (not sure exactly when this is, but looks like 20's).

Re: Body IDs please
In the shot of Syd with two cameramen, the one on the left is Hans F. Koenekamp.
