Ok – I know I’m stuck on a Buster Keaton thing. Another new Schoenberger composition accompanies this great piece of work by Keaton.
One of the most hilarious shorts in Buster Keaton’s arsenal of brilliant comedic jewels.Through a series of mistaken identities Buster winds up with a load of furniture in the middle of parade of policemen. An anarchist’s bomb lands in his carriage. After lighting his cigarette with it, he tosses it into the ranks of police. When it explodes the police chase him all over town. Composer Thomas Schoenberger created this original piece of music to enhance the experience of watching Buster as he takes on a city police force. This film was a huge success in the early 1920’s.
