Behind the scenes

Mack Sennett's production uses the workings of his studio as part of the comedy. Views of outdoor stages, camera crews and a small on-set orchestra preserve details of silent filmmaking in Southern California. The film was Mabel Normand's final feature and her last collaboration with Sennett.
