Here's some bits and pieces from three currently missing Sennett-Paramount Comedies:
1. SALOME VS SHENANDOAH (1919)
2. THE GINGHAM GIRL (1920)
3. HIDE AND SEEK, DETECTIVES (1918) (I think this is what the last clips with Turpin and Heinie Conklin is)

Nice find Richard.
Rarities indeed.
Any particular reason why you don't think the third clip is from SLEUTHS?

It's definitely not SLEUTHS, I have a number of stills from it and Tom Kennedy does not wear a moustache in SLEUTHS, nor does any of the action fit.

In the SALOME VS SHENANDOAH footage you can see ex-L-KO comedian Dan Russell on the right in the audience reaction shots with Ford Sterling. Russell also very fleetingly turns up in DOWN ON THE FARM ('20) so he must have made a brief stop on the Sennett lot after L-KO.

Re: Three Rare Sennett-Paramount Clips
I haven't been here in a while (and haven't logged on it so long, it took me a while to figure out my user name and password). Thanks for posting these, Richard! Yes, I'd say Hide and Seek, Detectives for the final clip (the knocking out of Al McKinnon and the rowboat scene matches up), but I wasn't aware of Chester Conklin doing a cameo in it, as he does in Sleuths. I don't have much time for film stuff these days, otherwise I'd check the Mack Sennett Weeklies on these.

Re: Three Rare Sennett-Paramount Clips
Yes, Dave, the last rare clip is from Hide and Seek, Detectives and not Sleuths as both Richard & Brent say.
I've also had some stills from both titles and these great clips (from HuntleyArchive) match Hide and Seek, Detectives.
Hope there's more rarities to come!
