Editing Mack Sennett (section)

==Later projects==
Rumors abounded that Sennett would be returning to film production (a September 1938 publicity release indicated that he would be working with [[Stan Laurel]] of [[Laurel and Hardy]]), but apart from Sennett reissuing a couple of his Bing Crosby two-reelers to theaters, nothing happened.<ref>Walker, 2010, p. 227.</ref>

Sennett did appear in front of the camera, however, in ''[[Hollywood Cavalcade]]'' (1939), itself a thinly disguised version of the Mack Sennett-Mabel Normand romance.<ref name=":4" />

In 1949, he provided film footage for the first full-length comedy compilation film, ''Down Memory Lane'' (1949), written and narrated by [[Steve Allen]].<ref>[[Scott MacGillivray]], ''Laurel & Hardy: From the Forties Forward'', Second Edition, iUniverse, 2009, p. 257. {{ISBN|978-1-4401-7237-3}}</ref> Sennett made a guest appearance in the film, and received a special "Mack Sennett presents" credit.

Sennett wrote a memoir, ''King of Comedy'', in collaboration with Cameron Shipp. The book was published in 1954, prompting TV producer [[Ralph Edwards]] to mount a tribute to Sennett for the television series ''[[This Is Your Life (American franchise)|This Is Your Life]]''.<ref>Thomas, Bob (1954).
