Voidsville Follies

Works by Nick Cogley (3)

A Strong Revenge

Mack Sennett (director/lead)
Ford Sterling (lead)
Mabel Normand (lead)
Nick Cogley (lead)
Keystone (production)

Language: Silent, English titles, released in Mar 1913
Minutes: 12

A weak comedy. Twelve minutes, one gag: homemade stench bomb revenge. Threadbare premise, even by early Keystone standards, with Ford Sterling forced to carry the comic load without help from Sennett or Mabel. And poor condition of print certainly doesn't help.

Featured elements:

: comedy; dance; revenge

The Bangville Police

Henry Lehrman (director)
Mabel Normand (lead)
Fred Mace (lead)
Charles Avery (lead)
Nick Cogley (lead)
Keystone Cops (lead)
Mack Sennett (producer)
Keystone (production)

Language: Silent, English titles, released in Apr 1913
Minutes: 9

Debut (or semi-debut according to some) of The Keystone Cops in a parody of the invasion-call-rescue plot formula, popularized by D.W. Griffith films.
