April 24, 1918, Los Angeles: Some of the "Bathing Beauties" from Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios surrounded by a curtain of confetti streamers. (Corbis)
My great aunt was a Mack Bathing Beauty. Going through her old album today I found a ticket; Coming to Majestic Theatre Mack Sennett’s orginal bathing girls appering in person in conjunction with “Yankee Doodle in Berlin” On the reverse side of the ticket is a bathing girl. Any idea what I should do with this ticket?
Maggie – If you are interested in donating it to a museum, you might try the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. If you want to keep it, they can advise you on the best way to store it to keep it from deteriorating. Happy New Year!
Wish I could help you there Dan – you might start at the library. I know there are a number of books out there on the Mack Sennett films…Good luck!

I’m trying to get photos and names of ALL the Mack Sennett Bathing Beauties, also known as the Sennett-Keystone Girls. Dan Smith and Maggie Free, you didn’t mention your aunt’s names, that will help in research. I’d be happy to see what I can find for either of you.

My aunt was a Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty. Is there any way to find pictures of them that identify the girls. I’d like to find one of my aunt.
