BEN TURPIN
Turpin signed this contract with Senate & Harding Theatre in 1927
to perform six performances in two-days for $400.00.
Contract signed: "Ben Turpin", 1 page, 8½x13. Turpin signed
this contract for three performances daily for two days commencing on Monday,
June 27, 1927. Turpin would receive $400.00 for the two days. Ben Turpin
joined Essanay shortly after the company began operating in 1907, but it wasn't
until 1917, when he joined Mack Sennett, that he became a leading comedy
star. He enjoyed his greatest success in a series of parodies of hit movies
of the period, lampooning famous screen personalities. His films included
Uncle Tom Without the Cabin (1919), The Shriek of Araby (1923),
The Reel Virginian (1924) and A Harem Knight (1926). He derived
much laughter from the contrast between his small size and ludicrous face and
the dashing, sophisticated characters he portrayed. Turpin had insured his
eyes with Lloyds of London against uncrossing. Lightly toned andfolded not near signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
