Now THAT'S Mabel! :)
(... and w/ Raymond Hitchcock. Snipped by me, with frame rate slowed down, from Nigel Dreiner's nice mini-documentary at: • Mabel's Adventures - A... )
This was evidently released in Nov. 1921 as part of a Gaumont Graphic Newsreel.

What an amusing little clip! Mabel sitting on this guy's lap, his hand must be behind holding her, and she says," Stop it!" as if he just pinched or tickled her waist. Then he looks back at the camera with a guilty look as if he was thinking, " I just got busted!", and her amusing expression of, "Oh, you MEN!" Precious comic bit! (well that's my lip sync suggestion of what I believe she says here. ) And I read alot of lips from silents as I am now making a part talkie out of Clara Bows silent, "It" from 1927. Using her words from her few surviving talkies, so it's Clara's voice you hear in her film! Back to this adorable clip, Mabel's first word is Stop. Her next word could be either: pinching, it! That! or Tickling! She opens her mouth a bit before she says Stop, so she may be doing a quick gasp, a quick squeel, or quick inhale before she exclaims, "Stop it!" Ok, play this clip over and see if you can imagine Mabel saying that! 😊

Thanks for letting us know about this 'home' clip of Mabel being a little naughty with RH, a married guy. We might suspect though that the wife was behind the camera. Don't know what Mabel is saying, but the last word is "wife" (I think). Mabel looks different every time you see her: c/f clip of her on the 'Aquitania' 1922, although she's plastered in make up (but does show us she can be embarrassed when certain things are said to her -- who'd have thought it?).

Thank you, but I would rather think this was just plain clowning than being "naughty" - stupid people are naughty. Are you the one who does the Keystone Girl website? You do an amazing and comprehensive job, I am very impressed, but with all due respect you take things too far when it comes to mind reading and imagining reminiscences. By the way, and as I maintain in my MNSB (the latest .pdf available at: www.angelfire.com/mn/hp/MNSB7.pdf ) there were possibly two (mayhap even three) Mabels, at least insofar as Mabel had a sometimes double, and as I argue in the preface (please read that.) Talk about differences in appearance, compare Oh Those Eyes/Getting Acquainted with Mabels Dramatic Career/Mabel at the Wheel, or Sis Hopkins to the Slim Princess, or Mabel in the Extra Girl (1923) versus that shot of "her" with Chaplin in 1927 (at your own website.) Something to seriously consider and think about. Best to you.

@@WmThomasSherman You have made the point about the doubles, and I have made the point on the subject of make-up. Charlie Chaplin said that if he hadn't made up older, he'd have been out of Keystone. Mrs Griffith said Pathe Lehrman would never make an actor as his make-up was lousy. Doubles were normal in pictures, and I don't doubt that Mabel had at least one double. My candidate for double is Mabel's sister Gladys, but how about Norma Talmadge? (on location of course and when the boss wasn't around.). My scenarios are deliberately 'over the top' (slightly) to give people the chance to tear them down. This is how research works, by rebuilding theories that have been knocked down. We are both right about the doubles and the make-up (and use of shadow). Both are elements of deception, which of course was and is the foundation of the motion picture industry. Thanks for the video.
