Buster Keaton Reports Progress -- March 22, 2024

Motion Picture Magazine, March, 1924

Earlier this month, I participated in the Tenth Annual Buster Keaton Blogathon. I wrote about the first feature that Buster Keaton had control over, The Three Ages:

100 years ago this month, in March, 1924, Three Ages was still showing around the country. This display at Milwaukee's Strand Theater feature an "animated dragon." it doesn't resemble Buster's dinosaur in Three Ages. Perhaps they were celebrating the Lunar New Year ;0) 1924 was the year of the rat.

Buster was busy directing and starring in Sherlock, Jr, which is one of my favorites.
