"You're darn tootin' it's a warm-weather buster, the funniest long comedy you ever played." Before air conditioning, many movie theaters closed during the summer.
Why are Buster's head and shoulders sticking out of a suitcase suspended from an old lady's neck? Go see Sherlock, Jr.

"Played to over 25,000 people in 3 Days!"

"Buster Keaton chalks up another!
Sherlock Jr. is his best shot -- your pocket sure will have a silver lining when this one rolls into it!" The Metro advertising department sure did like exclamation points.

When projectionist Buster dreams of being a detective, he is an elegant detective, as we often saw before hard-boiled detective fiction became popular.

This exhibitor said the Sherlock Jr "is Buster Keaton's latest, but not his greatest."

Exhibitor's Herald didn't like it either. "It hasn't the pep in the early footage..."

This exhibitor didn't like
Three Ages. "Buster had better (go - JT) back to two-reel stuff or he will be a dead number..."
I am glad these reviews are wrong.
