On His Wedding Day
Made in Keystone's first year, this "split-reel" short (that's just what it sounds like--half a reel, or less than 10 minutes of film), On His Wedding Day finds sneezing fits, hired goons, and sundry violent havoc unleashed at Ford Sterling's misbegotten wedding to his cross-eyed bride Dot Farley. Sterling was an early star for Sennett, with a comedy style based on ludicrous over-acting in a broad parody of the kind of melodramas then in vogue. Look for Mabel Normand as the girl he meets in the park who turns his head, a comedienne of more nuanced gifts who soon ascended to the top of Sennett's roster and helped launch the careers of Roscoe Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin.
