Thursday and Friday ,April 20th & 21that 7:30 pm. One of BUSTER KEATON’s most famous features is “STEAMBOAT BILL JR.” This Mark Twain-like tale from 1928 is one of Keaton’s best loved films. His teaming with character acton Ernest Torrence as his riverboat father was inspired casting. The cyclone climax remains one of the most amazing climaxes ever constructed for a comedy film. This is BUSTER KEATON at the top of his form and BLAINE GALE will be at the Mighty Wurlitzer to tickle the keys!

BUSTER KEATON’S “STEAMBOAT BILL, JR.”
with BLAINE GALE at the WURLITZER PIPE
ORGAN on APRIL 20th & 21st at 7:30 pmRoger Ebert writes: “In film after film, Buster Keaton
does difficult and dangerous things and keeps the
poker face. His philosophy is embodied in his body
language. The world throws its worst at him, but he
Is plucky and determined, ingenious and stubborn,
and will do his best.
Keaton is famous for a shot in “STEAMBOAT
BILL, JR.,” where he stands in front of a house
during a cyclone, and a wall falls on top of him;
he is saved because he happens to be exactly
where the window is. He refused to rehearse this
dangerous stunt because, he explained, he
trusted his set-up, so why waste a wall?”
BLAINE GALE will set the mood at the mighty
Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ for one of Keaton’s
Funniest films in which he co-stars with great
Ernest Torrence. DON’T MISS THIS ONE!
