From 1912 to 1928, this property was the Mack Sennett Studio, home to Keystone and Mack Sennett comedies and a place where Charlie Chaplin, Mabel Normand, Ford Sterling, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, Harry Langdon, and Ben Turpin gained screen fame. It was regarded as the birthplace of motion picture comedy, where Mack Sennett’s work took root and helped shape movie history. When Sennett came to 1712 Allesandro Street, now Glendale Boulevard, the Selig Polyscope, Pathe, and Norbig Studios were within walking distance. Today, this is the only surviving structure from the time Edendale was the center of Los Angeles film production.
