This book takes us back to a time before American movies were, well, American movies -- a powerful, settled, economic and culture-defining force. Keystone Studios, a New York owned company based in southern California, was there at the creation. And, in many ways, Keystone was the creation. Well, of a certain type of slapstick humor, at the very least.
Lahue and Brewer's book looks at the Keystone "Fun Factory" that proved to dominate cinema from 1912 to 1920 and the players who became stars and, in some instances, moguls: Mack Sennett, Mabel Normand, Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Ben Turpin, Fatty Arbuckle, and Fred Mace.
213 pp, illustrated, cloth over hardback boards, with dustcover.
