About this time the Keystone Cops enter the picture with the usual result - chaos I Now with an organ score by Gaylord Carter. B/W PRIDE OF PIKEVILLE (1927) starring BEN TURPIN with ANDY CLYDE and VERNON DENT Ben Turpin's forte was low slapstick or wild bur lesque and Erich von Stroheim provided a perfect target for Turpin's grotesque interpretations. As dashing Rodney St. Clair (or some other ridiculous name) swashbuckling Ben alternately pined for wild love and panted with torrid affection for one or more of Sennett's lovelies, reducing audiences to tears of laughter. In The Pride of Pikeville, Turpin portrays a hand some lover who can hardly sort out the ladies he desires from the many that fall at his feet. Piano score by Robert Monschein. Black & white.
