Keystone

Keystone est un studio hollywoodien (Edendale, Los Angeles, Californie) fondé en 1912 par Mack Sennett avec l'appui d'Adam Kessel et Charles O. Bauman, tous deux propriétaire de la New York Motion Picture Company. Après le départ du fondateur en 1917, les studios déclinèrent avant de déclarer faillite en 1935.

Le studio est célèbre surtout pour ses comédies brutales (slapstick) qui reprenaient le jeu physique du vaudeville de l'époque. Les Keystone Cops, cette bande de policiers loufoques à qui arrivaient les pires malheurs, et Charlie Chaplin, qui y fit ses débuts en 1914, partagent les hauts faits d'armes du studio avec les fameuses beautés en maillot que Sennet aimait intégrer à ses productions (Sennett Bathing Beauties).

Parmi les comédiens qui ont lancé leur carrière avec la Keystone mentionnons : Harold Lloyd, Gloria Swanson, Louise Fazenda, Raymond Griffith, Ford Sterling, Fatty Arbuckle, Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand, Ben Turpin, Harry Langdon et Chester Conklin.
