Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928)

Door Time: 6:30 PM
Showtime: 7:00 PM

Join us for the much-anticipated return of Chautauquaโ€™s Silent Film Series at the Chautauqua Auditorium! Featuring the pianist Hank Troy providing musical accompaniment, this time-honored tradition at Chautauqua promises to entertain and delight with a unique performance for all ages. A curmudgeonly riverboat captain (Ernest Torrence) receives a visit from his long-lost son (Buster Keaton), who turns out to be a dandy college kid who wears foppish clothes and plays the ukulele. But when fate intervenes โ€” in the form of a hurricane โ€” Buster proves he has the strength and courage of his father. This comedy features some of the most incredible stunt work of Busterโ€™s career. We will be screening Rodney Sauerโ€™s tinted 16mm print of this film, along with the rare Charley Chase comedy Limousine Love, which is still not available on digital video.ย
