This Day in Buster… March 24, 1887… Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle was born in Kansas, weighing in at a staggering 13 lbs., plus change. The big boy was a big talent and performed on stage from the age of eight until his beloved Mother passed away just three years later.

His father was far from supportive, so Roscoe supported himself working in hotels and was overheard singing on the job. This led to a turn at an amateur night. An impromptu dive into the orchestra pit won him the contest, paving his way into vaudeville.

In 1908, he married the beautiful Minta Durfee and a year later he was in pictures, mainly bit parts in one-reelers, until the β€œKeystone Cops” movies in 1913. He started making his own pictures for Paramount a year later and, a year after that, Comique studios began filming. His own studio! And that’s where Buster Keaton steps in.

A supposedly chance meeting saw Roscoe offer Buster a role in β€œThe Butcher Boy,” 1917, and they went on to make a further 14 shorts together before Roscoe moved on to three-reelers, and Buster took on his friend and mentor’s studio for his own.

Roscoe’s career should have been on the up and up. He was the highest paid comedian in Hollywood, but scandal pulled the rug out from under him, and the death of actress Virginia Rappe at a party he was hosting led to his being blacklisted. Despite three court cases and an eventual exoneration, neither Roscoe, nor his career, were ever the same again.

He worked with Buster on several projects under the name William Goodrich (he toyed with Will B. Goode at Buster’s suggestion) but, whilst remaining friends, they did not remain working partners. Roscoe signed with Warner Bros. in 1932, making a series of six two-reelers before signing to star in a full-length picture. He described it, that night, as the best day of his life. Very sadly, he didn’t make it to the next morning, passing away in his sleep, aged just 46.

TIL that the idea that "corporations are people" was created when Roscoe Conkling, last living member of the 14th Amendment drafting committee, falsely claimed in court that the word "person" was deliberately used to to include corporations. The case became legal precedent to strike down labor laws. theatlantic.com/business/…

Boxer spotted in Canton on Conkling st.

Followed a male (i think) boxer on Conkling st. To Odonell then lost it as he went cut over to Boston St. No collar, jumped in a drainage pool by the Five Guys so he likes water. Hope someone finds him.

Edit: full grown, brown and white, docked tail but floppy ears (if I remember correctly)

This is a long shot, but worth it to me. Lost wallet on South Conkling Street.

I think I may have dropped my wallet on South Conkling street. I was parked right here, the second to last parking spot before the intersection. I think it's in front of the barber shop and the Ecua Envios. I know that it's Baltimore and that I should probably assume it's long gone, but I figured I give it a shot. I live in DC but the ID is registered in Virginia. It's a black leather Ralph Lauren wallet. If it's not too much of an inconvenience, I would really appreciate it if someone could swing by the stores near the intersection and ask if someone turned in the wallet. There was a couple of hundred dollars inside, but I don't care about the money. The wallet was a gift.
