VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

Play, download and edit the free video Silents at the Senate - Fatty Arbuckle and Friends.

Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle mentored Charlie Chaplin, introduced the world to Bob Hope and Buster Keaton, and for a time, was the most popular comedian in Hollywood.  Due to a scandal that unfairly affected his reputation, Arbuckle's contributions to screen comedy have been largely ignored.  Thankfully, since the 1970s, historians have begun to set the record straight and audiences have given a second look to this founding father of movie comedy. 

 As part of the Silents at the Senate series, Cinemuseum LLC and the Detroit Theater Organ Society proudly presents Fatty Arbuckle and Friends.  Join us for a collection of six hilarious silent shorts, accompanied by Andrew Rogers on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ:

 Films include: Peeping Pete (1913), The Rounders (1914), The Waiters' Ball (1916), Fatty and Mabel Adrift (1916), Coney Island (1917), Love (1919).

All six shorts star Arbuckle, assisted by other comic greats of the day – Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mabel Normand, and others.  Bring the family for a fun night at the Senate!

 In addition to the shorts program, organist Andrew Rogers will conduct a Q&A session and attendees will be invited to tour our organ chamber.  As an added treat, Producer, Director, and co-founder of Cinemuseum LLC, Paul Gierucki will be displaying memorabilia and items personally owned by Roscoe Arbuckle!
