Mabel Normand was one of the top stars in the 1910s, only to see her reputation ruined by a scandal, which no doubt contributed to her early death. One of her movies was Mack Sennett's "Mabel's Dramatic Career". The most interesting thing about it is that it's one of the first movies to depict a movie-within-a-movie. Otherwise there's nothing really impressive about it. The following year, Sennett would direct "Making a Living", which starred a certain English immigrant who would don a bowler hat, ill-fitting clothes, fake moustache, and a notched cane.
