    1926 Silent • Live Accompaniment by David Marsh on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Film Historian Randy Haberkamp • This is the film where we watch Buster Keaton on a moving train and we keep thinking, “How is he still alive?” Keaton was known for his physical comedy and spectacular stunts, and the scale here is epic. It is a milestone in filmmaking. The famous train crash was staged with a full-sized locomotive. • Show begins with music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old-fashioned sing-along.
