July 10. 1938

Now I'll have to start checking the crowd scenes in D.W. Griffith's films. Former Keystone Kop Edward Cline, director of "My Little Chickadee," "The Bank Dick" and "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break" says that Mack Sennett used to get in costume as a police officer and sneak into the background when Griffith was filming.

Keystone Kops, a wonderful story from 1938 with lots of insight into early filmmaking.

Thanks.
