★★★★★ · The New Vaudeville · MelissaB378 · 2020-12-04
This sketch shows why Buster enjoyed doing TV in its early years. The variety shows that were so popular in the 1950s were like vaudeville reborn. He could do the pantomime sketches he loved in front of live audiences, always his favorite way to work. He was a vaudevillian at heart, it never left him.

Buster (and wife Eleanor) appear in one of Buster's famous vaudeville sketches. Circus Time aired Oct. '56-June '57. This clip also appears in the *Industrial Keaton* DVD anthology. thanks swordsman !
