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 and folded not near signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
