The Christie Film Company was a major producer of short comedies from 1911 to 1933. Al Christie was the director and Charles Christie ran the business. This ad says "Christie Comedies Are Comedies of Youth." The Christies featured situation comedy more than the slapstick favored by Mack Sennett and Hal Roach. Christies frequently featured pretty girls in bathing suits.
