Mabel and Fatty's Wash Day
1915 · US
Directed by Roscoe Arbuckle
Mabel Normand and Roscoe Arbuckle as neighbors whose wash day becomes a war, then a flirtation, then a war again. Keystone, 1915, directed by Arbuckle. The premise is domestic: two marriages, a fence, laundry that will not stay put. The execution is already the Arbuckle-Normand rhythm: her speed, his mass, the sense that the gag is a conversation. Harry McCoy is the other husband. It is a two-reeler that understands marriage as a sport with no referee.
