Interact with your favorite SCM authors, producers, directors, historians, archivists and silent comedy savants. Or just read along. Whatever.

"One of the finest books..."

Postby Steve Rydzewski » Fri Sep 13, 2013 12:07 pm

"...One of the finest books ever written on a silent movie performer."

That's what author/critic James Neibaur says of my book, FOR ART'S SAKE, The Biography and Filmography of BEN TURPIN, from BearManor Media.

WOW, that says a lot! Especially when nothing serious has ever been written in depth on Ben Turpin - one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the Roaring Twenties and one of America's first movie comedians - until now.

Loved the world over by children and the adults alike, and once one of the most respected people in Hollywood, Turpin's story is gathered for the first time and illustrated with well over two-hundred rare photos.

From his early life in New Orleans and later New York City, his trials and tribulations as a traveling hobo, the stage, the screen, behind the scenes, his personal life, the films, the fans, etc, etc. No BS, just the BT facts.

Grab it before it bites you and see why he was one of the legends!
