A reprint can be found from the November 1918, The Motion Picture Magazine written by Mabel's friend, Frederick James Smith, it was called Mabel in a Hurry.  You might have read a part of the article in the Mabel Normand Source Book but the whole 4 pages and the accompanying illustrations are in the Reprint Section.

In the Photo Gallery there are 2 new photos, one of Mabel from in 1918 from Peck's Bad Girl in Mabel 2008 pictures and in MMM album is another wonderful photo by Witzel of Mary, she took great pictures, as did Witzel take of pictures of her.  There are now 50 images of her in the LFM collection.
