	Keystone Kops - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Keystone Kops was a series of silent film comedies featuring an incompetent group of policemen produced by Mack Sennett for his Keystone Film Company between 1912 and 1917.
		It should be noted that Mack Sennett's Keystone film studio always used the spelling "Cops" (not "Kops") whenever publicizing their films: surviving press releases from the Keystone studio contain phrases such as "another 'Cop' comedy", invariably with the "Cop" spelling, never "Kops".
		Although the stage show dates from 1879 and the Keystone Kops appeared a quarter-century later, it is now customary for the policemen in the show to be portrayed in the style of the Keystone Kops.

	Keystone Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Keystone Studios was an early movie studio founded in Edendale, California in 1912 as the Keystone Pictures Studio by Mack Sennett with backing from Adam Kessel and Charles O. Bauman, owners of the New York Motion Picture Company.
		Charlie Chaplin at Keystone Studios is a 1993 compilation of some of the most notable films Chaplin made at Keystone, documenting his transition from vaudeville player to true comic film actor to director.

	Keystone Kops
		Produced by Mack Sennett for his Keystone Film Company between 1912 and 1917.
		The Keystone Kops also appear in the computer game Nethack, typically when the player steals from one of the shops.
		They are more dangerous than their cinematic inspiration however; typically surrounding the player's character so escape is impossible, and then attacking from all directions, also temporarily blinding the player with thrown cream pies[?].

	Charlie Chaplin - MSN Encarta
		Chaplin first appeared on the screen in 1914 with the Keystone Film Company of American director Mack Sennett.
		He was associated later with the Essanay Film Company, the Mutual Film Company, and the First National Film Company.
		Film sound recording in the late 1920s, however, imperiled the effectiveness of the pantomime on which much of his creative imagination depended; also, he became concerned with themes of contemporary significance.

	Film History Before 1920
		Beginning in 1914, the feature film, the cartoon (the first prominent animated cartoon character was Gertie, from Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) by Winsor McCay), the war film, the costume epic, the western, the slapstick comedy, and the adventure serial appeared in substantial form.
		Thomas Ince decentralized and economized the process of movie production by enabling more than one film to be made at a time (on a standardized assembly-line) to meet the increased demand from theaters, but his approach led to the studio's decline due to his formulaic, unfresh, mechanized, and systematized approach to production.
		Filming ceased at the Inceville property around 1922 and the buildings burned to the ground in 1924.

	Mabel Normand: An Introductory Biography
		The camera work and sets of the Keystone shorts are sometimes extraordinary for their crudeness and simplicity; especially when one considers what had been accomplished elsewhere in these areas at the time.
		The film isn't terribly much, but did set a standard of light, comic sensuality, while introducing to the public that grouping of would-be sweethearts and antagonists which was to become a key ingredient to many a Keystone scenario.
		Minta Durfee, one of the Keystone actresses later recalled an incident in which Mabel "tossedï¿½" a blue berry pie at a prop man who had made a pass, and it was possibly on the basis of this incident that the attribution was made.

	Charlie Chaplin's grave
		In 1919 he co-founded the United Artists film distribution company with Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. Griffith, all of whom were seeking to escape the growing power consolidation of film distributors and financiers in the developing Hollywood studio system.
		It is a tribute to Chaplin's versatility that he also has one film credit for choreography for the 1952 film Limelight, and another as a singer for the title music of the 1928's The Circus.
		The film was seen as an act of courage in the political environment of the time, both for its ridicule of Nazism and for the portrayal of overt Jewish characters and the depiction of their persecution.

	Investing in the Movies
		The General Film Company, which is one of the oldest concerns in the field and probably handles a larger share of the business than any other concern, was incorporated in 1910 with a capital stock of $1,000,000, of which $900,000 is preferred and $100,000 common.
		The World Film Corporation, which is a large feature film company, both exchange and producer, has a capital of $2,000,000, par value of $5.00 a share, of which about $1,500,000 is outstanding.
		It appears, however, that while these companies have for the most part held their own, that there has not been any enormous increase in value in the securities, nor does it appear that the concerns have paid what might be considered enormous dividends.

		It is charged by the commission that the producing and distribution of more than 30,000 films every week by the respondent, from its studios in California and New York principally and the transportation of great quantities of unexposed films and large quantities of scenery, paraphernalia, costumes and similar stage properties give the commission jurisdiction.
		This company produced its first picture in the Spring of 1914, he testified, and at this time the Paramount Company was organized to distribute films and films of Famous Players.

	Harold Lloyd Bio - Harold Lloyd Biography - Harold Lloyd Stories
		By the beginning of the 1920s, Roach, Lloyd, and their film company had become a happy, creative, and profitable team, but some changes were in store.
		Another change was the length of Lloyd's films; up until this time, Lloyd had limited himself to one- or two-reelers, but in 1921 he tried his first feature-length film, "A Sailor-Made Man," and continued with feature-length films for the remainder of his career.
		Although safety precautions were taken during the filming of these stunts, their accomplishment is remarkable nevertheless, especially in that Lloyd was working with a disability resulting from injuries sustained during an accident at a photo shoot.

	Mabel Normand
		Normand's first film for Keystone was "The Water Nymph" (1912), directed by and co-starring Sennett, and generally regarded as Sennett's first "bathing beauty" film.
		One of the first projects of the new film company was "Mickey" (1918), starring Normand in the title role as a girl from the wilds of California who is sent to live with her high-society relatives in the East.
		But the pressure of running her own film company and studio, in addition to starring in the films, proved to be too much for Normand.

		Sennett is a key figure in Rob's dissertation examining the Keystone Film Company, which Sennett headed, "in the context of early 20th-century American and urban working class culture." Keystone produced Charlie Chaplin's films in the mid-1910s, as well as a host of slapstick comedies, including those featuring the Keystone Cops.
		By 1912, when Sennett founded Keystone, his style of film was at odds with the Hollywood mainstream.

	Fatty Arbuckle Summary
		The veteran vaudeville and silent film star was accused of sexually assaulting a 25-year-old starlet who died of peritonitis from a ruptured bladder, and not an alleged Labor Day attack.
		Ironically, one of the very few of Arbuckle's feature-length films known to survive, Leap Year, had been one of two finished films Paramount held back from release at the time the scandal broke; while it was eventually released in Europe after the acquittal, it was never theatrically released in the United States nor in Britain.
		He finished filming the last of the two-reelers on June 28, 1933, and was signed by Warner Brothers to make a feature length film just hours before he died.

		Sennett was given a one-third interest in the new company, based in his reputation as a comic actor and director at Biograph, and in forgiveness of his previous gambling debt to his new partners.
		The company was an early Edison licensee, and was the youngest of the founding members of the Motion Picture Patents monopoly.
		The film presented Chaplin's studio with something of a risk in an atmosphere of American isolationism, where Hollywood studios were frequently called on the carpet for propagating anti-isolationist views.

		The era of the talkies had changed the way films were made and he had made a graceful retreat into an early retirement.

		The speech of the protagonist at the end of the film to the next generation of soldiers is both sad and traumatic as the viewer realizes the intense psychological torment this man has gone through because of war.
		Eisenstein maintained that in film editing, the shot is a thesis which when placed into juxtaposition with another shot of opposing visual content, it produces an idea or impression which becomes the thesis of a new dialectic as the montage continues.
