About the event
Buster plays a college graduate trying to gain the respect of his father, a roughneck riverboat captain, as well as the love of Kitty, pretty daughter of his father’s business rival. This film contains one of cinema’s most famous (and dangerous) stunts as Buster narrowly avoids being crushed by a tumbling house façade. Our Silent films with live soundtracks programming continues with: Steamboat Bill, Jr. The 1928 classic starring comedian extraordinaire, Buster Keaton.*This Event is Appropriate for All-Ages!
