“Buster Keaton may be proud of ‘Our Hospitality,’ his latest picture, at the Warfield Theatre.
“Buster is at least o»* comedian with a desire to really act, who had the ability to convince his producer and manager into letting him try it.
“In ‘Our Hospitality’ Buster Keaton proves that he is a comedian, dramatic actor and acrobat par excellence. Natalie Talmadge, Mrs. Buster Keaton in private life, is the ‘girl’ of the story. Pretty and with much of the talent of her two famous sisters Natalie is more than acceptable in the part. Baby Buster also appears as well as Grandfather Joe Keaton and another young actor, Ralph Bushman, son of Francis X. Bushman. — San Francisco Call.
“ ‘Our Hospitality,’ Keaton’s best comedy, is showing, and the Warfield is as noisy and full of hubbub and laughter and back-slapping and roars as a political smoker with the punch-bowl flowing freely.
“His adventures in a river, down rapids, hanging over waterfalls, etc., are a series of breath-taking surprises that outdo those in ‘Way Down East.’
“Natalie Talmadge turns a real heroine and gets swept over a cliff, but luck favors their romance, and when papa and brothers get on the scene, the parson has done his little trick.
“Plenty of rich comedy touches abound. You laugh as you see the engineer’s little dog outrun the train. Papa Keaton is the engineer, and Baby Keaton is the youngest juvenile.' '•—San Francisco Bulletin.
NATALIE TALMADGE ( mrs. buster keaton)
“ ‘Our Hospitality,’ which yesterday came to the Warfield for the first showing anywhere, is in my opinion the most enjoyable of the Buster Keaton comedies.
“There are many unexpected turns in the plot, with humor all the way to the satisfactory finish.
“Miss Talmadge plays the Southern girl in pretty manner. Keaton’s father drives the engine of the old-time train, ‘The Rocket,’ so that three generations of the comedian’s family are represented in the film. Another member of the cast is Ralph Bushman, son of the distinguished actor.” — San Francisco Examiner.
