Book Description
From its founding in 1912, the short-lived Keystone Film Company—home of the frantic, bumbling Kops and Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties—made an indelible mark on American popular culture with its high-energy comic shorts. Even as Keystone brought "lowbrow" comic traditions to the screen, the studio played a key role in reformulating those traditions for a new, cross-class audience. In The Fun Factory, Rob King explores the dimensions of that process, arguing for a new understanding of working-class cultural practices within early cinematic mass culture. He shows how Keystone fashioned a style of film comedy from the roughhouse humor of cheap theater, pioneering modes of representation that satirized film industry attempts at uplift. Interdisciplinary in its approach, The Fun Factory offers a unique studio history that views the changing politics of early film culture through the sociology of laughter.

Book Description
This novel is set in the golden decade before the Great War, when the music halls were the people's entertainment, before radio, television or cinema and bigger than all of them. The biggest draw of the day was entrepreneur Fred Karno, whose colossal comedy companies toured the country bringing laughter, slapstick, excitement and, above all, spectacle to the music hall stage. Arthur Dandoe is a young comedian trying to make his way up the hierarchy of the Fred Karno company. Along the way he develops a bitter professional and romantic rivalry with another ruthlessly ambitious performer; a young man destined to become the most celebrated on the planet - Charlie Chaplin.
