A Versatile Filmmaker. Few people would contradict that statement that Buster Keaton was a legendary filmmaker. He started making films when the industry was new. Though he would eventually transfer his career to movies, Keaton was first a stage performer. He knew how to sing, dance, play instruments, perform magic, tumble, and fall. His years of experience taught him what was funny, so Keaton wrote scripts, too. When he arrived in California in 1917, Keaton took apart a camera to see how it worked, and soon he was off and running! By 1928, he had made 31 short movies that audiences loved. He was often called "The Great Stoneface" for good reason–the expression on his face never seemed to change, as if it were made of stone. Buster Keaton was so versatile that he not only performed in his movies but also wrote and directed them. He took responsibility for technical flaws, too. Today, if takes a huge crew to get a movie into production, but Buster Keaton was a crew all by himself. Top right, a portrait of Buster Keaton during filming.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
