Now I’ll have to start checking the crowd scenes in D.W. Griffith’s films. Former Keystone Kop Edward Cline, director of "My Little Chickadee," "The Bank Dick" and "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break" says that Mack Sennett used to get in costume as a police officer and sneak into the background when Griffith was filming.

    Keystone Kops, a wonderful story from 1938 with lots of insight into early filmmaking.
    Thanks.
