This Day in Buster… February 8, 1923 The Fairbury Daily News says, “Leave your laugh preservers at home when you come to see Buster Keaton in ‘The Boat.’”

Yes, it’s a comedy, but still, those guys let their ladies wear the pants in their relationships and it is GLORIOUS to see in a play written in the 1890s. Praise Oscar Wilde.

The Brooklyn Eagle on "Sherlock Jr." with Buster Keaton praised Buick, saying, "This was an extremely dangerous stunt, and it is not hard to imagine that death or serious injury might result." Continuing, he said, "I traveled an even 50 miles an hour, stepped on the brakes, and they responded. It was one of the finest performances I have ever seen a car give. My life was in jeopardy, but I felt perfectly safe."
