The Navigator – Silent Movie starring Buster Keaton

The Navigator is Buster Keaton’s most successful film. Buster Keaton is known as a master stutman with all his acts of physical comedy as well as a great story teller.

The Navigator tells the story of the wealthy and impulsive Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton). He decides to propose to his beautiful socialite neighbor, Betsy O’Brien (Kathryn McGuire). Although Betsy turns Rollo down, he still opts to go on the cruise that he intended as their honeymoon. When circumstances find both Rollo and Betsy on the wrong ship, they end up having adventures on the high seas, allowing Keaton plenty of opportunities to display his trademark agility.

The film will be accompanied by Marvin Faulwell at the mighty Lincoln Theatre Pipe Organ and Brad Kuntz providing additional percussions.
