Review of Coney Island (1917) by Byron B — 16 Mar 2018
Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle made many shorts with Mabel Normand and then prior to the pairing of Laurel and Hardy he made several shorts with Buster Keaton. This is one such teaming between Fatty and Buster.
Amusement park and beach antics. Al St. John plays a third rival for the pretty girl in all the slapstick chaos. Reading the synopsis makes it sound quite complicated. Exactly what happens in the plot is not so important though as the physical gags.
