Mack Sennett — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸
Mack Sennett carried a spear the first time he ever had the distinction of appearing on the theatrical stage, but from that humble beginning he has evolved into the office of director for the Keystone company.
Not only that, but he is vice-president of that concern, and shares honors with the other laugh-producers of the company.
Five years in picture work is Mr. Sennett’s record, the Biograph company having benefited by his experience as a director and comedy actor for the year and one-half preceding the Keystone founding.
Delving into the life of Sennett for the fifteen years which led up to his picture work the delver learns that the funny Mack was engaged in theatrical work, appearing with Arnold Daly, Henrietta Crossman in Shakespearian work, with De Wolfe Hopper in “Wang,” took a prominent part in “The Chinese Honeymoon,” and starred in farce comedy and vaudeville.
