As feature films have been the preferred format in modern times, those who have dealt almost exclusively in short films have been short changed in popularity. It is for that reason this book is so welcome as a promo to Mack Sennett. 4 short movies produced by Mr. Sennett are represented here by stills and dialogue in an abridged format for Godfrey Daniels. A one page preface and 4 page introduction are helpful. Titles included: The Barbershop; The Dentist; The Pharmacist; and the all time fan favorite- The Fatal Glass of Beer. ( )

A worthy effort, but it really isn't possible to convey a comedian's genius through still photographs and dialogue captions. ( )
