title: Frame-Up!: The Untold Story of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle
author:  Andy Edmonds 
description: Edmonds's biography of the stage and screen star is as much an homage to Arbuckle (1887-1933) as it is an investigation into the sensational trial that virtually ruined the man and his career. Author of Hot Toddy ( LJ 4/15/89 ) and Let the Good Times Roll (Avon, 1984), Edmonds is a skilled writer who brings a wealth of information to the popular biography. She convincingly defends Arbuckle by presenting an in-depth psychological portrait while she exposes the underside of Hollywood power politics and its cost in human terms. The book is notable for its treatment of early Hollywood history, the relationships between stage and screen, producers and talent. Written for a general audience, this will do well with readers intrigued by celebrities, and those interested in screen and stage comics.<br /><i>- Robert Rayher, Sch. of the Art Inst. of Chicago</i><br />Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  Daisy up the drive. I expect they will come to the station to meet Fatty too.
  
  
  Of course they will, said Pip. And I bet old Buster will turn up as well!
  Fancy Fatty going away without Buster-dog!
  
  
  Larry and Daisy walked into Pips playroom. Hallo, hallo! said Larry,
  flinging bis cap on a chair. Wont it be nice when Fattys back? Nothing ever
  seems to happen unless hes around.
  
  
  We arent even the Five Find-Outers without him, said Bets. Only four - and
  nothing to find out!
  
  
  Larry, Daisy, Fatty, Pip and Bets called themselves the Five Find-Outers (and
  Dog, because of Buster). They had been very good in
