- Summary:
- Keaton, Arbuckle and St. John: Five films which illuminate the careers of three influential early film artists by presenting some of Buster Keaton's rarely seen early shorts, showcasing the often neglected Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and spot-lighting little-know character comedian Al St. John.
- Hal-Roach's all-star comedians: American slapstick may have germinated at Mack Sennett's, but Hal Roach Studios refined the form with more sophisticated and deliberately paced narratives, a style which allowed many of his stars to make successful transitions to sound. Presents five films including the rare feature "Big moments from little pictures," with Will Rogers.
