The White Brothers

by David N. Bruskin

Published 1 July 1990
This is the life story of the White brothers, whose biographies encompass virtually the entire life of the two-reel comedy short in America—once a staple of the American public's moviegoing experience—from the Mack Sennett Studio in the teens to the final days of the Columbia Pictures shorts department in the 1950s. And with Sam White, the youngest brother, the family's involvement in American entertainment extends into the television era.
