The star of "The General"
In another of his big, clean comedies-it's one big
roar of hilarious, fun-provoking situations.
Those who have seen Buster Keaton in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Battling
Butler" are unanimous in declaring it one of the greatest comedies of his
career and that's not forgetting "The Navigator," "The General" and his
other big hits. Keaton as the young idlder who wins a girl by posing as a
champion prize-fighter with disastrous results will raise such snouts of
laughter as are only heard once in a long, long while.
