Director: Buster Keaton, Edward F. Cline Cast: Buster Keaton, Margaret Leahy, Wallace Beery, Joe(2) Roberts, Lillian Lawrence, Blanche Payson, Kewpie Morgan, Lionel Belmore, Oliver Hardy, Louise Emmons
The great comic Buster Keaton provides three comedic love stories–one each in the Stone Age, Roman Empire, and the 1920s. In all three, the roles of the boy (Keaton) , the girl (Margaret Leahy), and the villain (Wallace Beery) (who also is after the girl) are played by the same actors. A good silent film.
