This Is Your Life: Mack Sennett

This is Your Life: Mack Sennett 1/2 Hour B/W Kinescope Original NBC Network print with all original commercials as Broadcast on March 10, 1954. Brought to you by Prell. With Andy Clyde, Chester Conklin, Vernon Dent, Harold Lloyd and Del Lord.

[@Farrah300]

I can't resist yet another comment on this. All I will say here is this. If you love good comedy of the past, this is definitely the episode for you.

[@harlow743]

Both Chaplin and Lloyd were enormous talents.....and had he not been lied about I'm sure Roscoe Arbuckle would have done some fine features in the 1920's

[@Farrah300]

Harold Lloyd was a fantastic surprise on this show. LOVED IT!!!

[@michaelcerza871]

I believe this was one of the best "This is Your Life" segments ever produced. The array of stars and talent that were part of early motion history, such as Chester Conklin, Del Lord (the early Three Stooges Director), Del Henderson, Vernon Dent, and of course, the great Harold Lloyd! Mr. Sennett along with Mr. Roach gave us all a wealth of fun and laughter that can never be forgotten. As long as we have electricity to make things move and project images, we will always have these treasured moments from long ago to remind us of our beginning to make people laugh with a projected image on a screen!

[@jubalcalif9100]

Well said and well put ! I heartily concur !

[@Farrah300]

I have to say that I absolutely loved Harold Lloyd's heartfelt tribute to Mack Sennett. Such a lovely person.

[@Farrah300]

I dare say that most people would have no idea in the world who most of these actors and actresses are today. Yet they were stars in their day.

YEP..I LIVED AT THE GARDEN COURT ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD & MACK LIVED THERE TOO..HE PUT HIS OSCAR IN THE WINDOW OF HIS APT..NICE MAN..JACK ENGLISH..ACTOR/LOCATION MGR..JE. 8/2021

[@Ransomhandsome]

What a tragedy losing The Garden Court. Thankfully, I had a chance to wander through it not long before it closed.

[@stephaniebristol3837]

I bet Mack Sennett had some crazy stories especially with Mable Normand. He was and is the King of Comedy. It may have been silent era, but it's priceless. I feel the same about Buster Keaton "The General" one of my favorite films to this day.

[@psalm37v4]

Wish they had filmed some of the after party! These shows are just too short to enjoy. :)

[@scotnick59]

So good to see Franklin Pangborn as himself.

[@johnnyb4187]

One of my favorite episodes along with Joe E. Brown and Bebe Daniels. I've seen many many shorts with these people and have become a big fan just within the past five years or so. Until KZbin came along they weren't so accessible to a lot of people and I'm grateful to everyone involved in making that possible. 🙂

[@jubalcalif9100]

My sentiments exactly ! Thanks for your wonderfully positive & perceptive comment !

[@ms.fuentes6223]

Best segment I've seen. Big fan of the silent movies

[@40ounce58]

Great show! Mack will always be my favorite.

[@grandcosmo]

I've see a bunch of TIYL episodes on here and this was one of the best.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I agree 100 per cent !!

[@GeeBee909]

This man TOUCHED a lot of lives and changed them for the better. That's worth all the money in world. Shows that money is only paper

[@megasept]

That's probably what Mack told staff and performers whenever they asked for a raise. A great "proving ground", and wonderful flics. Mabel Normand was a treasure. Sennett's continued connection with Pathe for distribution, may have bankrupted his once prolific studio. I've met one of those Keystone Kops (also played Firemen) in a Hollywood barbershop, back in 1984. We didn't discuss pay or conditions, just good times doing wild comedy stunts. He loved working at the Sennett Studio.

[@eugenekozma2697]

@@megasept lucky you to have met one of the keystone kops.they are my favorite comedy team.

[@russellfarina1660]

The man who discovered Charles Chaplin!

[@russellfarina1660]

@Nora Lovelace xxHistoricallyHauntedxx -SL sorry to disagree. In his autobiography, chaplin stated that mack sennett saw him performing on stage with the fred karno comedy troupe. He offered to sign chaplin to make his first films at keystone based on that stage act. Mable did direct chaplin in some very early films they were in together. She was a very good actress, comedienne, and one of the first women to direct in film history. So, yes, she was a Great film pioneer herself, as was sir charles chaplin.

By 1960 both Sennett and Phyllis Haver & Franklin Pangborn all would be gone.

[@eugenekozma2697]

Yes sadly Phyllis haver committed suicide on 1960.i wonder why she killed herself.she retired I think in 1929.so it was a treat to see her.

Also Dell Henderson too, as he died in 1956 from a heart attack.

[@pumpkinpatch5]

It’s partly a celebration and partly a sadness, being on a program like this, isn’t it? There would be an awareness that you’re near the end of that amazing life.

[@harlow743]

Un fortunately by this time Mabel Normand and Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle had died and Chaplin was living in Europe.

[@Farrah300]

Honest to goodness, Mr. Sennett reminds me of Col. Sanders. Well, his facial hair is a bit different, but those glasses do it for me.

[@myname7056]

What would’ve made this is if Chaplin had either appeared, or pre recorded a message.

[@oliviamartini9700]

Mack Sennett invented the casting couch. All his "bathing beauties" (and hundreds who weren't) were personally inspected by his huge mitts.
