Not only was Keaton a vaudeville great, he had a bit of a career in silent films as well.:-) Thanks for posting this.

"...he had a bit of a career in silent films as well." LOL!!! Nice one! Thank goodness it was a big 'bit'! I've been in love with Buster since I was about 10 years old, so I've seen most of his stuff; I've not seen this clip before though, and it's charming. Thanks so much for posting it. Love from Pam

Thanks Pam. I'm always happy to see Buster in any format--he was so genuine.

I hear they are releasing the first five seasons. That would include the extremely rare Season 4 which never aired on Nik at Nite or TV land. Can't wait! Finally a release worth something...Rare..

A "bit" of a career...hehehe. I've never seen this footage before. It's so sweet and so is Buster. I wonder if this is on the Keaton Plus DVD. Thanks for posting.

The first season DVDs are out and they are terrific -- very good quality, no "fake soundtracks" and no editing of the episodes (which run 25 plus minutes). This episodes is part of the package. Thanks to Arts Alliance for putting them out. Let's have more!

I am so in love with Buster Keaton. If I have a son, I'm naming him Keaton - either first or middle name. I've been a fan about four years. He is/was amazing. "The General" is probably my favorite silent movie.

We named our son Keaton after BK. He's 21 now.

I found Buster after my kids were already born, so too late to rename them. But we did name our calico Keaton.

I wonder why Buster Keaton is only known for his silent film work these days. He was very good in this clip.

I did name my daughter Buster! For Buster! She's 20 now, and totally digs her name!

I remember Buster Keaton from many shows and comercials in the late '50s and early '60s.He was really an underrated talent. I read somewhere that Buster Keaton is remembered by some as either the greatest silent movie comic or the second greatest-depending on how much you liked Charlie Chaplin.

@RJRanke Buster Keaton was a silent film Star a BIG one. The famous guy hanging from the giant clock in silents, also Donna Reed was a contract actress in 1940's films.

I´ve never heard his voice until this vid. It was... strange

hekasoram - Posted on Dec 20, 2009

so if it is a boy's name why did you name a girl with it?

bkarwin - Posted on Feb 5, 2010

You probably know this already: the story is that Buster Keaton was given that nickname by Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist. Buster's real name was Joseph, like his father.

ragtimebill - Posted on Feb 18, 2010

@ldyreal No, the guy hanging from the clock was Harold Lloyd.

doforanimals - Posted on Mar 19, 2010

He was a heavy smoker and too much booze in the 1930s made it a little rough.
