Buster Trivia Month 2021

Yes, we just made this up: May is "Buster Trivia Month!" You might recall last year, 2020, we posted trivia questions about the one and only Buster Keaton in the beginning months of the infamous lockdown. We decided to bring it back this month just for fun. So every day in May (keep your fingers crossed that life doesn't get in the way), we will post a trivia question and the following day, we will post the answer. Are you ready??? Let's go!

Question #1: According to Buster, at what age did he enter show biz?

a. 2 years old
b. 3 years old
c. 4 years old
d. 5 years old

See you tomorrow with the answer!

In The Works: The Playhouse Trailer

We have another mock trailer in the works. This time we are honoring Buster's 1921 film, The Playhouse.

As most Buster fans know, Buster plays many, many different roles in this one. I recently read he had even thought of being the sole actor in the film. Wouldn't that have been something??

My Wife's Relations Trailer

Here it is: a short but fun trailer for Buster's 1922 short but fun film My Wife's Relations. We hope you enjoy it!

In The Works: My Wife's Relations Trailer

Yes, we're on a roll and making another mock trailer. This time we are honoring Buster's 1922 short film, My Wife's Relations. The "relations" are made up of a great supporting cast, plus we have Kate Price in the title role. Just a footnote, Miss Price had a small part in Buster's feature film Seven Chances. So stay tuned...

One Week Trailer

It's here! And if you're a true Buster fan, you should be thinking "Has something arrived?" Yes! Our new video! A trailer for the 1920 film One Week. Hope you enjoy...

In The Works: One Week Trailer

Yes, it's true! We are working on a new video. How impressive, right? It will be a mock trailer for Buster's 1920 short film, One Week. So keep your fingers crossed this one won't take as long as the last one!!

Buster's Busters

Finally!!! After great anticipation (at least on our part), we have a new Buster tribute video to share. We hope you enjoy it!!

A Hearty Thank You!

We're sending a big "thank you" to the DamFamily Facebook Group. Recently they linked some of our videos on their page. We appreciate the support and kind comments!!

Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas and a very happy 2021 to everyone!!

So what will Silver 17 be doing in the coming year? Our Buster tribute videos have been very scarce lately due to other commitments. If 2021 will allow for more, I cannot say. We will be taking a break from the blog so the content does not get too repetitive. Thanks to all who have viewed our videos and read this blog. 

December First

Can it be December already? Have a nice start to winter (if you're in my neck of the woods) and the holiday season!
