And they’d both pass away far too young in the early 1930s (Mabel at only 36 in 1930 & Roscoe at 43 in 1933)
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
Despite all of their trailblazing talents, both Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle would hit career lows (Normand w/relationship & drug scandals the stress of which worsening her recurrent tuberculosis; Arbuckle w/a career ending sex scandal)
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle
And finally, “He Did and He Didn’t” (1916) (youtu.be/5naCRo-i1JI?...) is actually more of a dramedy VS the usual slapstick comedy or RomCom that Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and Mabel Normand were known for
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
“Wished on a Mabel” (1915) (youtu.be/iDWXaF5MMBs?...) is considered one of the more “sophisticated” films that Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle would make together
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle would parlay his screenwriting & directorial work at Keystone into a contract with MGM in 1918.
#SilentFlickerSunday #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
During this time, Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle would make 17 films together-often writing, producing & directing themselves. Mabel Normand would star in over 100 films and write & direct around 20 films on her own.
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
Despite being mostly known as a singer who also did comedy on the side, he leaned fully into his brand of chaotic, physical comedy once he began acting in films, especially once they were hired by Mack Sennett for Keystone Studios in 1913.
#SilentFlickerSunday #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle began his career as a child performer on the vaudeville circuit. He wouldn’t get into films until round 1909 when he and his wife, Minta Durfee, would join the roster of Chicago’s Selig Polyscope Company
#SilentFlickerSunday #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
“That Little Band of Gold” (1915) (youtu.be/yC7f-vorsN4?...) is somewhat of a departure for Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle in that they also share top billing with Ford Sterling + A LOT of Keystone Studio regulars
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
“Mabel and Fatty’s Married Life” (1915) (youtu.be/1pXAXg2SEfU?...) is another from the series that features the chaos trio (Mabel Normand, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle & Al St. John) but this time they’re joined by The Keystone Kops
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
“Fatty and Mabel’s Simple Life”was co-directed by Normand & Arbuckle, who by this point had been directing and producing films both individually and jointly for about a year. It also features Arbuckle’s nephew & collaborator Al St. John #SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
Here’s the first in the popular Mabel Normand-“Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle comedy series “Fatty and Mabel’s Simple Life” (1915) (youtu.be/zxIQWn_fN88?...). #SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
Next we have “Mabel’s New Hero” (1913) (youtu.be/KNV793zpPy4?...) which fully features Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle as her co-star. It’s also directed by Mack Sennett
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
I know that Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle is barely in “Mabel’s Dramatic Career” but I think his wanting Mack Sennett to STFU is pretty memorable 😂
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelsDramaticCareer #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
“Mabel’s Dramatic Career” (1913) is notable for being one of the earliest examples of a film-within-a-film
#SilentFlickerSunday #MabelsDramaticCareer #MabelNormand #RoscoeArbuckle #SilentFilm
First up we have “Mabel’s Dramatic Career” (1913) (youtu.be/gSTM9GbpQ_Y?...) directed by Keystone Films impresario and Mabel Normand’s future co-conspirator and on/off lover Mack Sennett

Had he lived longer into the Talkie era, I could see Roscoe being a lot of fun in screwball and domestic comedies of the 30s & 40s and even some of the WWII era homefront comedies
