Edgar Kennedy Two-Reeler Comedy Collection
American comic actor Edgar Kennedy began his film career working for Max Sennett on the Keystone comedies. He later moved over to Hal Roach Studios, where he developed his stock-in-trade "slow burn" routine. In 1931 he wound up at RKO Studios where he starred in a total of 103 two-reelers, unofficially titled "Mr. Average Man." These short films, precursors to the TV sitcoms of the 1950s, cast Kennedy as the head of a zany family, which included his ditzy wife (usually played by Florence Lake, sister of Arthur "Dagwood" Lake), a nagging mother-in-law and lazy brother-in-law.
