Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was shot at Westlake Park in Los Angeles, which no longer exists—making this accidental documentary footage of 1914 city life.
Mabel Normand was the biggest female star at Keystone, earning more than Chaplin at this point; her career later imploded from scandal and addiction.
