Fatty and Mabel at the San Diego Exposition

Roscoe Arbuckle and Mabel Normand are a married couple at the San Diego Exposition. That opened in January of 1915 and ran for a couple of years. They keep trying to cross the street during a parade. They rent a motorized wheelchair for two. While Mabel goes into a store, Roscoe hits on Minta Durfee and goes to see the Royal Hawaiian Dancers dance the hula. Hubba hubba.

Did they say "Hubba hubba" in 1915? Probably not. This looks like one of the Keystones made in the early, heady days of 1913-1914, when Mack Sennett would send a crew down to some event and ave them improvise against it, then edit the results. Chaplin's first movie, KID AUTO RACES AT VENICE, was made that way, and while Arbuckle liked to offer more elaborately plotted and carefully shot movies, he and Mabel were quite caable of making it up as they went along.
