Animated Blacksmith for Keaton Comedy -- September 20, 2022

Moving Picture World, 23-September-1922

GR Stewart, manager of the Iris (Not Isis) and America Theaters in Casper, Wyoming, promoted Buster's short comedy, "The Blacksmith" with an animated figure. Some poor kid had the job of moving the cut-out's right arm to hit the anvil.

"Day Dreams" was partially filmed in San Francisco. Buster is pursued by cops, and escapes by grabbing a Northbound Powell Bay cable car, which he rides around the turntable at Bay Street, and hops off later on Columbus Avenue.


Buster waits to hop on a Powell-Mason cable car on Columbus Avenue. The cable car's dark green paint renders it difficult to see Buster.

Joe Schenk, Buster's brother-in-law had plans for Buster and for the sisters of Buster's wife Nataly, Norma and Constance Talmadge.

Norma, Natalie, Buster and Constance -- June 25, 2021

Motion Picture News, 25-June-1921

Buster Keaton married Natalie Talmadge on 31-May-1921. Her two sisters, Norma and Constance were big stars. People direct a lot of prejudice against Natalie, but I suspect that Buster was a hard person to live with at that time. The bride and groom look thrilled.

"Until Keaton came East over a month ago he had not seen his fiancée in two years. They had corresponded frequently and he had proposed and been accepted by telegraph."

Larry Semon -- In His New Screaming Comedy Knockout -- March 25, 2020

El Paso Herald, 02-March-1920
This month's ad uses the same image of Larry Semon, but it doesn't seem to be so sinister this time.  There is a nice image of Constance Talmadge.
