Description
Very risque for the time, these girls are bearing it all! Showing your knees was a big deal in this era. It was 1914 and the Sennett's bathing beauties were a big hit! Mack Sennett used sex to sell his movies, basically!
Mack Sennett is the man credited with bringing slap-stick comedy to film for the first time, the actor, writer and director also gave Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle, Gloria Swanson, The Keystone Kops, Bing Crosby, and W. C. Fields their start in show business. The ladies above were part of Sennett’s famous “bathing beauties” troupe, a group of scantily clad (for the era) ladies who would appear in comedy shorts and promotional films.
