Richard, I’m really enjoying these massive ensemble comedies that Mack Sennett began producing in earnest once he switched from Triangle Keystone to Paramount. Here’s hoping that many more of these continue to be found and put back in circulation. How dare Walter Kerr claim there were no funny women in silent comedy, Louise Fazenda is wonderful in this!
