BUSTER KEATON
THE PLAYHOUSE (1921)
The opening scene, a dream sequence prior to the
vaudeville routines which follow, is what makes this
film famous.
In it Keaton plays everyone in a theatre
simultaneously (through multiple exposures). He is
the band leader, all its members, the dancers on the
stage and everyone in the audience.
THE BOAT (1921)
Buster's handmade boat, The Damfino, is finished
and is, of course, too large to get through the
basement door. When he drives off with it in tow, the
side of his house, then the whole thing, collapses. At
the harbor he rides the boat out only to have it sink
beneath him. The rest is a series of adventures he
and his family have with the restored boat. This
funny short has some good subtile gags plus the
usual slapstick and gadgets.
THE PALEFACE (1922)
Buster Keaton stars in this comedy as the captive of
hostile Indians. His captors tie him to a stake and
prepare him for death by fire. Keaton moves with the
stake as the Indians try frantically to place the
firewood around him. When he survives the flames
due to his fire-resistant clothes, Keaton is made a
member of the tribe and named Little Chief
Paleface. He then foils the scheme of unsavory oil
speculators to steal the land from his Indian
companion.
THE BLACKSMITH (1922)
Blacksmiths' assistant inadvertent clowning around
in the shop, gets into fight with the smithy who is
then arrested and placed in jail. In the meantime,
the assistant tries to help several customers with
devastating comedic consequences.
DAYDREAMS (1922)
Buster Keaton asks the father of the woman he loves
for her hand in marriage, but the father wants to see
Keaton make something of himself first. "I'll leave for
the city to make good. If I'm not a success, I'll come
back and shoot myself," Buster declares, which is a
perfectly acceptable arrangement as far as the
father is concerned. So Keaton heads off for the big
city and tries his hand at a number of different jobs.
But his letters to his girl suggest more noble and
enterprising careers than those he's actually
attempting.
Her imaginings provide the basis for the title, while
his actual efforts provide the humor.
