Summary:
"The silent screen's "Great Stone Face," and arguably its most
prodigious comedian, Buster Keaton is famous for films such as The
General and The Navigator. With compassion and accuracy, Dardis
traces both the development and the decline of this great performer,
from his childhood in vaudeville to his glory days as a silent screen
star and MGM contract actor, his descent into alcoholism, and his
twilight years as a nearly forgotten relic of the era."--BOOK JACKET.
