Keystone Studios

I thought this was a comic book reference, not something between Three Stooges and Now reference.

The Keystone Cops are a fictional, humorously incompetent police force that starred in silent slapstick comedy short films produced by Mack Sennett for his Keystone Studios from 1912 until the early 1920s.

Abbott and Costello met them.

Neither of us were around for that one.

I landed a part in a successful production of Sherlock Holmes, performed in comedy sketches and joined Casey's Circus in 1906.

I toured North America's Vaudeville circuit with Stan Laurel from Laurel and Hardy and signed a $150 per week contract with Keystone Studios.

My character, The Tramp, became a cultural phenomenon and a film which I directed.

In 1919, I co-founded United Artists Distribution Company, which is still active today.

And within six months, he's making film after film, and within a year, if you don't have a Chaplin film in your cinema, you're at a serious disadvantage.

Chaplin made over 35 films at Keystone Pictures.

In 1919, he moved on to form his own company.

Douglas Fairbanks, D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford, and Charlie Chaplin form United Artists Company.
