'The Keystone Kops' was a series of silent comedies featuring an incompetent group of policemen. They first appeared in the 1912 film 'Hoffmeyer’s Legacy' but it was the 1913 feature 'The Bangville Police' that confirmed their popularity. 'The Keystone Kops' were renowned for making mistakes particularly with a great deal of energy and activity and all done with a major lack of coordination. Carl Davis's 3 minute tour de force is a fine encore piece!
