HOORAY FOR 1933—EIGHTY YEARS LATERThe True King Of Comedy
Enter Paul Gierucki and Brittany Valente of CineMuseum. These two dedicated film buffs and historians, who brought us the valuable DVD collection Industrial Strength Keaton, have scoured the archives and private collections of the world to restore 100 films to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mack Sennett’s Keystone comedy studio. According to their press release, “These long neglected classic comedies will finally receive a desperately needed restoration in the HD format. Titles, intertitles and missing footage will be replaced, images lightly cleaned and stabilized, original tinting and toning will be restored and newly created scores by some of the best musicians in the industry will ensure that these wonderful films will once again be seen as originally intended.”
Seventy-six of their restorations will debut on TCM; the entire collection will be showcased on DVD and Blu-ray later this year.

Many many years ago, I saw "Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts" at the Main Street Cinema at Disneyland. Stood there and waited to watch both reels through. Pretty sure that was my first whole Keystone.

He may be the King Of Comedy, but he doesn't appear to smile very much...

When I was about 9 or 10, I saw Mack Sennett honored on "This Is Your Life." I think I had already seen a friend's 8mm print of "Barney Oldfield's Race for a Life." Aware that Mack was actually in the film, I at least had a fuzzy idea of who he was. Later, I became aware of his cameo in "Abbott & Costello Meet the Keystone Cops." It is delightful to learn of the TCM and DVD massive tributes to the brilliance of this man, whose prior performing had included dancing on Broadway in "Piff! Paff!! Poof!!!" in 1904! Thank you, Leonard, for spotlighting The King of Comedy! :-)!
