BUSTER KEATON’s 3 Ages

Wednesday, January 18, 2023 @ 6:30pm

Free Screening!

1923 | Comedy/Silent | 1hr 51m | Not Rated

Join us as we kick off the Mamaroneck Library’s Centennial Movie Series with a special free screening of Buster Keaton’s first feature film and one of the funniest comedies of the silver screen.

The rituals of courtship, romantic rivalry and love play out three times as a Man (Buster Keaton) vies with a Villain (Wallace Beery) for the Girl (Margaret Leahy). In the Stone Age, the rivalry is set off by dinosaurs, a turtle used as a Ouija board, and a round of golf with stones. In ancient Rome, the men display their brawn through a chariot race, using dogs instead of horses. In contemporary times, the Man finds himself overcome by modernity, including a very fragile car.

“…filled with such wonderful visual wit…[Keaton’s] eye for comedic detail remains unparalleled.” – From The Front Row

The film will be accompanied by an original musical score created by Kurt Coble, performed live by Kurt Coble on violin and Donald Sossin on piano.

This event is in partnership with the Mamaroneck Library’s Centennial Movie Series.
Adults will enjoy a complimentary flute of champagne to toast the start of the Series.

“Matt Schofield is widely considered one of the best blues guitar players walking the planet…” – Kevin Klein, medium.com
