Holbrook N. Todd, Editor

Imagine: It's twenty years later, you're married to one of these brats, and it's April Fool's Day. The mind boggles.

Re: THE HAUNTED LOUNGE (1908) Ben Turpin
Thanks for posting all these Turpin links. It's always great to see him in action (or inaction, in the case of THE HAUNTED LOUNGE), and these earliest comedies are a delight to view.

Re: What Actually Happened between Mack Sennett, Mabel Normand, and Mae Busch
Fascinating stuff, Richard. I can't wait to listen to those recorded interviews once they become available online...during my lifetime, I hope!
