    Hi Mike, and thanks for posting this photo of my hero and the greatest cross-eyed comic in the world. What is your source for this photo? It is indeed a pose from “A Clever Dummy” with Ben, Claire Anderson & James Delano. Here’s a link to my flickr gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wiggleyears/

      I found the pic in a 1980s issue of Films and Filming—I’m not sure which one—it accompanied an article on Sennett. The promotional slides on your flickr are pretty great. Thanks for looking.

    I think I have this video on a low-priced DVD distributed by Alpha Video called “The Turpinator”. Funny stuff!
