At the height of his career he would introduce himself with, \"I'm Ben Turpin; I make $3000 a week.\" Hardly an overnight success, he had worked for decades in the circus, vaudeville, burlesque and film before being signed by Sennett. There, his comic potential was maximized by casting him against type, as in A Harem Knight where he plays a sophisticated playboy. With the advent of sound motion pictures, he retired, having made a fortune with wise real estate investment. He occasionally returned to movies for highly-paid cameos. Viewing his work almost a century later, he is still hilarious.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBroke In China\u003c\/b\u003e (1927): A penniless sailor chases an exotic hoochie-coochie girl in a Shanghai bar and winds up having his entire life turned inside-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Harem Knight\u003c\/b\u003e (1926): The Rajah's beautiful daughter flees the palace to elope, but inadvertently hides in the apartment of international love pirate Rodney St. Clair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Ben Bolted\u003c\/b\u003e (1917): Hobo pals Ben and Paddy ride a boxcar into town without a cent in their pocket.
