SHERLOCK, JR. (1924)
Directed by Buster Keaton
Starring Buster Keaton and Kathryn McGuire
B&W; 45 minutes; Rated PG
Live piano accompaniment by maestro Ethan Uslan
SHERLOCK JR., released in 1924, is a relatively short silent movie, but it’s just long enough to display the breathtaking talents of the great Buster Keaton. In this sublime mixture of fantasy and slapstick, Buster plays a lovelorn projectionist who dreams that he’s able to step directly into the movie screen to participate in the detective story that’s unfolding. As the “detective”, Buster believes that he possesses Sherlockian powers of ratiocination — and, of course, the power to believe is all that matters in dreams.
For this silent movie, “live musical accompaniment” will be provided by award-winning ragtime pianist Ethan Uslan. Buster Keaton’s hilarious 23-minute short THE GOAT (1921) will be screened prior to SHERLOCK, JR. (Mr. Uslan will also accompany THE GOAT on piano.)
