Mack Sennett left Triangle and the Keystone brand and started releasing through Paramount. He ran a series of colorful ads featuring pretty girls in
Moving Picture World. The elongated style reminds me of John Held, Jr, but I am pretty sure he did not create the drawings.

"Mack Sennett's first Paramount comedies to be released the latter part of September will feature all the famous Sennett comedians and beauties -- they call the bathing suit girls 'Sennetts' out on the Pacific coast."

Purple and orange is an interesting combination. The comedian looks like Mack Swain.

No girls in this one, but there is a cop. Or is it Kop? I wonder if the comedian is supposed to be Ben Turpin.

Meanwhile back at Triangle, Keystone was producing comedies without Mack Sennett, however "His Precious Life" with Charlie Murray and Louise Fazenda may have been a movie that Mack Sennett produced before he left.

"A Bedroom Blunder" starred Charlie Murray.

"Hula-Hula Land" with Billy Armstrong and Maude Wayne may also have been produced by Mack Sennett. I like the design of the ad. "The Keystone girls in a bathing spree on the beach of Wakiki."

Keystone's productions for October release, done without Mack Sennett, were ready. I didn't recognize the names of most of the actors and actresses.

The ad for "A Pullman Bride" features a sleeping car. It starred Gloria Swanson, Mack Swain and Chester Conklin.

"they will be ... the best comedies ever made."

"The Late Lamented" may also have been produced by Mack Sennett.
