MARY ASTER EBAY OFFERING

I'll pitch this image as related in that it has an odd name:



Somehow the above makes me think W.C. Fields must have been in Los Angeles in 1916 and met the Chief of Police: Clare Snively.

I wonder if he is related to that Buster Keoton guy?


This program has two errors. Elsie Furgurson and Douglass Fairbanks.


Then there's this Ethel Grandon lady...


This theater advertising card get's Pauline's last name wrong once and right once!

I just want to get to know that police woman named Feely.

Adolphe Menjou seems to have had particularly bad problems with advertising misspelling his name.

Baltimore has a section of town known as "The Block"', where all the striptease clubs are located. One of the ladies, who plied her trade during my mispent youth, went by the moniker of "Busty Keaton". Alas, I have no pictures or advertising premiums to share, but I am told that sometimes she wore a porkpie hat.

"Blooming Angel" doesn't sound like a very laudatory term for a divine being.
Is it a comedy?

NEWS FLASH!
WORLD NOT PERFECT!
WORLD WIDE WEB 2012--The world was amazed to find out today that things aren't perfect, and there's no pleasing everyone. Nitrateville poster, JFK, is one of the many who had been kept in the dark for so long but are now seeing the light. More as it develops...

The middle panel fascinates me:

The Henry King directed Sackcloth
and Scarlet starring Alice Terry and
Dorothy Sebastian.

A Mack Sennett Comedy

A Pathe newsreel.

An entry from Paul Terry's Aesop Fables Studio.

Riley's Concert Orchestra provides the music.

As for misprints.......

.....either the author spelled the way he or she spoke
or was expressing a personal opinion of Douglas Fairbanks.

Keaton's Only Serious Rival?

I have known a number of people, (who were alive in the silent era) who erroneously referred to a "Buster Keating" - my mother included. Then there were those who marvelled at Wurlister organs as well.

I am now going to watch a couple of films with Digloss Farebonks and Polly Negro

Well Sackcloth and Scarlett is from 1925 and Happiness is from 1924, so it probably isn't The Punctured Prince (1922), which starred Bull Montana.

Well according to the URL, here is a photo of Scarlett Johansson as Buster Keating:

I think I saw Busty Keaton in a porno called My Wifes Relations.

This gives a new meaning to Sackcloth and Scarlett. Alas, there is no sackcloth in the Johansson pic.
Besides, I've seen Buster Keating, certainly not as good as Buster Keaton, but definitely better than Buster Keoton.

I vaguely recall that photo from a magazine spread of current stars made up to look like famous early stars (Premiere, Vanity Fair, or Entertainment Weekly?), which was an imitation of the similar photo spread that LIFE Magazine did back in the early 60s or late 50s. Scarlett Johannson here looks a bit more like she's doing Johnny Depp doing Buster Keaton than like Keaton himself.

Considering it's Scarlett Johansson, it's probably Vanity Fair, where they seemed to park her mug on every other cover for years. I can say without a doubt I look more like Cary Grant than she looks like Buster Keaton (and that's saying a lot).

"Keating" is just a more formal way of saying "Keaton," much as "eating" is more proper than "eatin' ".

Thank you Rodneying

I agree - Billie Dove and Corinne Griffith really were beautiful and languid on and off the screen.

In fact, "Buster Keating" is Cockney Rhyming Slang for the word "beating", as in the following example:

"Boy, the film The Buster Keaton Story sure took a Buster Keating with the critics."
