Buster Keaton is one of the three giants of silent comedy (along with Charles Chaplin and Harold Lloyd) and is an icon in the world of comedy.
This presentation will address his triumphs and the tragedies that lead to his fall a few years after the advent of sound. And it was not his voice that wrecked his sound career, but his personal life coupled with a business decision!
Despite that, he continued to work in film and television until his death. Some of Buster’s funniest moments will be screened with this lecture and they are still amazing to this day!
Memorabilia display and period music also included in the presentation. Open to all!
The program will be held at the Great Neck Library, 159 Bayview Avenue, Great Neck, on Monday, April 10 at 12:00 p.m. in the Main Library Community Room. Registration is required and can be completed online at www.greatnecklibrary.org, in-person, or via phone.
