Looking for Mabel Normand

4 Various Yuletide Cards as Mack Sennett, Mabel Normand and Ben Turpin Wish You a Merry Christmas. A charming lot of four colorful Christmas cards - all with the original stamped envelopes - including two from Mr. and Mrs.Ben Turpin, one from Mabel and (husband) Lew Cody, and one from Mack Sennett. Each card bears a printed name (not a signature) and all were sent to Mabel's ex-secretary Betty. The Turpin cars are postmarked 1926 and 1927, and the Sennett card 1924; the date isn't readable on the envelope from the Codys, but it's probably 1926. All cards and envelopes (love those stamps!) are in Excellent condition. These are ideal Yuletide decorations for a movie lover, and an attractively festive lot!

3 Letters from the Files of Mabel Normand's Secretary. This lot includes a love letter to Betty Coss from her soon-to-be-husband, Carlos Duncan, as well as a newspaper clipping Carlos sent Betty noting his recent divorce and newsy letter from Mrs. Ben Turpin, mentioning Ben's recent personal appearances and film projects. They come with the original envelopes and are in Very Fine + condition.

Mack Sennett Studio Newspapers, 1917. The Sennett Studio published a four-page newspaper, IThe Mack Sennett Weekly, packed with exhibitor-aimed information and publicity about its stars and new releases, as well as Sennett's various editorials about the industry - also terrific pictures! This lot includes eight editions, January to April of 1917. Mabel Normand is featured prominently in pictures and text. Very Fine condition. Rare and wonderful artifacts from the Golden Age of slapstick comedy.

Mack Sennett Studio Newspapers. Another time capsule featuring an inside look at the Mack Sennett Studios - a lot of seven editions of The Mack Sennett Weekly, dating May of 1917 to April of 1918. Mabel Normand, the Bathing Beauties and other comic attractions caper in these pages, which were the in-house voice of the long-lamented Sennett lot. Very Fine condition..
