Buster’s first appearance in a film with a train doesn’t look like it had a happy ending for his character, but it clearly didn’t put him off working with trains in the future.

It’s also the first film Buster’s dad Joe was finally convinced to appear in.

A Country Hero (1917) is unfortunately still a lost film.

Obscure Canadian comedian Sammy Sales was a regular performer at the Brown Derby Tavern on Yonge Street.

The Brown Derby Tavern was a familiar Toronto landmark with an exterior decorated with images of famous Mack Sennett comedians: Fatty Arbuckle, Charlie Chaplin, and Ben Turpin.

Located right next to the Yonge and Dundas subway station, it was known for its epic bar that stretched longer than any Woolworth’s lunchcounter - nearly one hundred and twenty stools in a row.

Sammy Sales memorized a joke book when he was 14 years old and recited its material for the next 45 years. First at the Victory Burlesque house on Spadina and much later at the Brown Derby.

"His engagement at the Brown Derby on Yonge Street lasted more than five years," explained the Toronto Star. "There he did songs and comedy routines of bygone days. Last November [1966] he went to hospital with a broken cheekbone after he was knocked unconscious by three customers.”

He died a few months later and was quickly forgotten.
