Publisher's Synopsis
MABEL NORMAND SOURCE BOOK: Supplement
A follow-up volume to Mabel Normand: A Source Book to Her Life and Films; containing numerous additional clippings, articles, and other related periodical items; scripts and synopses to "lost" films; contemporary sheet musics dedicated to Mabel; pictures and photographs; a retrospective essay, and more.
The original news-file caption to the cover photo reads: "Part of the fun of being a motion picture star--though there are those who find otherwise -- is that one is in the center, upon occasion, of an admiring group of worshippers willing to put up with any sort of discomfort to catch a glimpse of the object of their affection. This crowd waited more than an hour on a chilly side street in uptown New York one night recently to see Mabel Normand flit from a doorway to a taxicab while the camera recorded the scene for her Goldwyn film, 'The Floor Below.' [rel. Mar. 1918.]"
