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!

CELEBRATE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF BUSTER KEATON’S 1923 MASTERPIECE ‘OUR HOSPITALITY”
THURS. AUG. 31ST & FRIDAY SEPT. 1ST at EDISON ST / THE ORGAN LOFT with BLAINE GALE at the the MIGHTY WURLITZER THEATER PIPE ORGAN at 7:30 pm
With this his second feature film, Keaton created a historical comedy that ranks right at the top of his greatest comedies. Blaine Gale will be at Wurlitzer Theater Pipe Organ to create a wonderful setting for a Keaton masterpiece that ranks with his THE GENERAL, STEAMBOAT BILL, JR., THE CAMERAMAN or SHERLOCK, JR.
Appearing in “OUR HOSPITALITY” with Buster Keaton are his wife Natalie Talmadge, his father Joe Keaton and his one-year old son, Buster Keaton Jr.!
Writing about Keaton, Roger Ebert stated:
“Because he was funny, because he wore that porkpie hat, Keaton’s physical skills are often undervalued. We hear about the stunts of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., but no silent star did more dangerous stunts than Buster Keaton. Instead of using doubles, he himself doubled for some of his actors, doing their stunts as well as his own. In “OUR HOSPITALITY” he was almost killed when a safety wire snapped and he was swept toward a waterfall [captured on film for you to see].”
Without a doubt “OUR HOSPITALITY” (1923) is a BUSTER KEATON film to celebrate. We hope that you will join us for the 100th Year Celebration.
