SURVIVING BEN TURPIN FILMS

⭐ ESSANAY ERA (Chicago & Niles, 1909–1915)

Turpin’s Essanay period is the best documented, thanks to the Essanay survival catalog. Many films survive; some are fragmentary.

Key Surviving Essanay Titles (complete or substantial):





  • The Fable of the Roistering Blades (1915)

  • His New Job (1915, cameo with Chaplin)

  • A Night Out (1915, cameo)

Essanay’s official list marks surviving titles with an asterisk; many Turpin films appear there.

⭐ KEYSTONE ERA (1915–1917)

Survival is mixed — some complete, some fragmentary, some lost.

Surviving Keystone Titles:

  • A Hash House Fraud (1915)

  • Love, Speed and Thrills (1915)

  • A Movie Star (1916)

  • Bright Lights (1916)

  • A Scoundrel’s Toll (1916)

  • A Maid to Order (1916)

  • A Tugboat Romeo (1917)

Many Keystone shorts survive because they were widely distributed, but prints vary in quality.
