| Ford Sterling, Mack Sennett comedian, was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin,
and one summer's night while Ford was a boy John Robinson's "big top"
came to town. When the circus left town Ford went along as an extra clown.
Later he became Keno, the Boy Clown. Then followed several years with a
repertoire company, playing in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the afternoon
and "Julius Caesar" at night. Then he landed on Broadway and is
remembered for his part in "Sidewalk Chatter," by McEvoy and Sterling.
Mack Sennett then signed him up for Keystone and he later worked with his
own company and then rejoined the Sennett forces. He is five feet eleven
inches high, has dark brown hair and eyes and is very athletic. He has developed
great talent as a photographer. |
