For this upload I decided to combine the audio from the fun 1928 song "The Sweetheart Of Six Other Guys" by Fred Hall and his Sugar Babies (Okeh 41026) with a handfull of public domain video clips of Mabel Normand appearing with different "sweethearts". I thought it made a good combination anyway...

Here's the rundown on her seven "sweethearts":
Monday: Mack Sennett
Tuesday: William Jefferson
Wednesday: Hugh Fay
Thursday: Ralph Graves
Friday: Ford Sterling
Saturday: Edgar Kennedy
Sunday: Roscoe Arbuckle
---------
I hope you enjoy it!

Note: this is an improved version of a clip I uploaded a few days earlier.

  • Clever work. I think Mabel would approve,but she didn't need funny lyrics to make her funny..her work stands alone..thanks for your effort though.

    Stephen Normand - great nephew of Mabel Normand

  • Thanks for the kind words. I agree that Mabel didn't need lyrics to make her funny and I considered that idea when picking out the music. This song was used because it is mostly instrumental yet the vocals perfectly setup a situation which is ideal for featuring a series of clips of Mabel in action alongside several actors.

    Your great Aunt was an incredible woman whose images still bring pleasure almost a century later. I often slip on films of hers when I need to brighten my mood.

  • Great work-I know how much time it takes to do these simple looking little vid clips. What films were these clips from? I only recognize 3 of the films.

  • I'm going to add this information to the video using annotations...
