Ladies, you know how it is: your wedding dress arrives, you’re immediately asking the delivery boy to model it for you

Honestly, probably the case that every role Keaton played for Roscoe Arbuckle could be called, in at least some sense, the delivery boy. The boy delivered.

'His Wedding Night' (1917), which, if you're seeing this clip and reading that title and thinking oh, reel one a bit rough but then reel two radically evolves into a Shakespearean cross-dressing comedy of errors?, thank you for getting it (the 1910s two-reel short ethos)

“Coney Island, shot on location on a busy day in Luna Park in 1917, may be the one in which his character displays the widest emotional range. In the first scene he shimmies up a pole to watch a Mardi Gras parade, laughs, and tries to applaud—causing him to lose his grip on the pole and fall onto his date for the day (Alice Mann). Buster also weeps theatrically to the camera when the girl deserts him at the entrance to a boardwalk ride called the Witching Waves. Later he laughs some more, doubling over in mirth at the plight of poor Roscoe, whom Buster has just inadvertently knocked down with a giant mallet at a “test-your-strength” booth. In the second reel, feeling his oats in a brand-new lifeguard uniform, Buster executes an impeccable standing backflip, for no other apparent reason than because he can. He even preens for a beat or two afterward, puffing up his chest before exiting the frame in an attitude of manly resolve.”

This Day in Buster…October 28, 1917  

"Coney Island" is released.  The Comique Boys, Roscoe Arbuckle, Al St John & Buster Keaton all compete for the fair Alice Mann, but only one wins her fickle heart in the end…

I always thought it charming how he just goes for it. He's a goofball, but he's a debonair goofball.

Especially for the hot as a volcano competition @hotvintagepoll

What a Piece of Work Was Alice Mann

My word but there were a lot of Alices running around a century and more ago! I’ve always been interested in the phenomenon because it was my mother’s middle name, after her aunt, who herself was named after Alice Roosevelt (TR’s rascally daughter), and one has to guess the Lewis Carroll character has something to do with its popularity. Here on Travalanche we have already written about Alice…

the thing about children is that they’re always delighting in the world in front of them.
