"Spanking Breezes" is a short Mack Sennett comedy. We have included this film in our program to illustrate the work and contributions of our star Alice Day.
After her sister Marceline Day left Mack Sennett for feature films, where she shined brilliantly in both comedy and drama, Alice Day became the main star and box-office attraction of Mack Sennett Comedies. She was an extremely popular and very much liked comedienne. Unfortunately very few of her short comedies survive, so let's enjoy "Spanking Breezes".
