	D2 Press- Cool Dead People - Mabel Normand by Suzanne Nielsen
		Normand used this spontaneous reaction in many films and she was the first of the slapsticks to take it in the face, so to speak.
		After watching several of Normand's films, I am left with this feeling: she was too smart, too witty and too spontaneous to have been openly admired for all her talent.
		Part of Normand's throaty tone was connected to her chronic pneumonia, which later lead to tuberculosis and eventually killed her.

		Mabel Normand only directed a dozen or so films (shorts), but "Wished on Mabel" shows that there was something there.
		This Mabel film is a silent job well done because it is a simple story that is really funny concerning the history of a watch as it passes from owner, to thief, to bystander (finding on the ground), to the original owner's daughter, back to the thief trying to say to was his.

	Bursting with Song--Review of Mack & Mabel
		In 1938, Mack Sennett reminisces about the era of silent movies, starting in 1911, when deli delivery girl Mabel Normand shows off considerable comedic potential when she tries to get money for the sandwich she's delivered to Lottie, the actress Mack is filming.
		Years later, Mabel returns to Mack when he promises to put her in a serious film, but her movie ends up "exploding" with Keystone Kops, and she returns to Taylor.

		But as a vehicle to tell the story of silent-film director Mack Sennett and his starlet/lover Mabel Normand, the show leaves a lot to be desired.
		Even though Normand was absolved of Taylor's still-unsolved murder, the scandal ruined her professionally.
		Still, Mack and Mabel is a fun look at Hollywood's "Golden Age," but if its tarnished underbelly is going to be allowed to show, it shouldn't be glossed over but played for maximum dramatic impact.
