The mod hasn’t been able to find it again, but she seems to recall reading something about Charlie actually initially having trouble getting used to the bike in Mabel At The Wheel. If anyone can verify this, let her know.

Fun fact: this is the mod’s dream silent comedy screen pairing. She’d LOVE to see these two play off each other.

Mabel Normand

American silent-film actress, screenwriter, director, and producer. She was a popular star and collaborator of Mack Sennett in his Keystone Studios films, and at the height of her career in the late 1910s and early 1920s had her own movie studio and production company. Onscreen, she appeared in 12 successful films with Charlie Chaplin and 17 with Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, sometimes writing and directing movies featuring Chaplin as her leading man.
