Macks Bathing Beauties (W. Overland?)

• 

In the early to late teens of the previous century producer Mack Sennett became well known for his Keystone Kops slapsticks (YouTube) and other comedies. Hilarious chases and cake-throwing were a main part of those silent movies, but often they also featured a bevy of "bathing beauties" seen here trying to hide a car (Car? What car?). The girl in the harlequin costume is Marvel Rea, whose sad life was detailed on Shorpy some time ago (scroll down for many more photos).
