Larry Semon Larry Semon is all but forgotten today, but in the early twenties, was considered a rival of Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd. One of the highest paid comedy stars, Semon specialized in pure slapstick and spectacular thrills.
During their long solo careers before teaming, Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel both worked with Larry Semon. Semon kept a careful record of all his ideas and jokes in a small, fat, leather notebook. The notebook was invaluable to him, and more or less served as a script for all his comedies. Semon was a master of fast pacing, and the high-speed chases that end many of his shorts are astounding. An extravagant spender who paid no attention to budgets, Larry Semon drove himself into bankruptcy, a nervous breakdown and an early death in 1928.
