Two-Reel Fun With Buster

From Educational Pictures in 1937, here's Buster Keaton starring in "Love Nest  On Wheels,"  released theatrically by 20th Century-Fox.  In this one, a family of yokels is in danger of losing their hotel home unless they can get a city couple to by a trailer they happen to have for $350.  This was the last of a series of two-reelers that Buster did for Educational.  Adapted by Paul Gerard Smith from the story by William Hazlett Upson, this short was photographed by Dwight Warren (ASC) and directed by Charles Lamont.  Joining Buster in the cast were Myra Keaton, Al St. John, Lynton Brent, Diana Lewis, Bud Jamison,  Louise Keaton, and Harry Keaton.  Myra, Louise, and Harry were Buster's mother, sister, and brother , respectively.

Enjoy!
