MONTY BANKS

From Who's Who on the Screen (1920)

Heading his own company which is producing comedies of the two-reel variety for Warner Brothers, Monty Banks traces his success in the comedy field of motion pictures to his unique training in Keystone and Mack Sennett comedies and the experiences culled from a dancing career which took him round the world. Monty was born in Nice, France, July 15, 1897. Early in life he became an accomplished dancer and as such gained applause in almost every European country and in America. He deserted the stage to become a knock-out comedian for the original Keystone company and later was the chief support of Fatty Arbuckle with Mark Sennett.
