Declaring motion pictures "an eternal monstrosity," this highly regarded stage comedian fled Hollywood after a couple of Mack Sennett farces, including Stolen Magic (1915) with Mabel Normand and A Village Scandal (1915) with his wife Flora Zabelle and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Hitchcock was nevertheless back in the 1920s, when he played debonair supporting roles in such films as Broadway After Dark (1924) and The Monkey Talks (1927).
