Buster Keaton Suite
Born Joseph Frank Keaton to a pair of medicine show performers, Joseph Hallie Keaton and Myra
Cutler Keaton, on October 4, 1895, in Sedan, Kansas. ,When at six months he tumbled down a flight
of stairs unharmed he was given the name "Buster" by 'Harry Houdini' who, along with W.C. Fields, Bill
Robinson ("Bojangles"), Eddie Cantor and Al Jolson shared headlines with The Three Keatons:
Buster, his father Joe Keaton and mother Myra Keaton.
Their act, one of the most dangerous in vaudeville, was about how to discipline a prankster child.
Buster was thrown all over the stage and even into the audience. No matter what the stunt, he was
poker-faced.
He first saw a movie studio in March 1917 and on April 23 his debut film, 'Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle''s
Butcher Boy, The (1917), was released. He stayed with Fatty through fifteen two-reelers even though
he was offered much more to sign with Fox or Warner after returning from ten months with the 40th
Infantry in France. His first feature length Saphead, The (1920) established him as a star in his own
right. By the middle of 1921 he was starring, directing and scripting through Buster Keaton
Productions. He received a special Oscar for his life work in comedy. Festivals the world over
acknowledged Buster until his death at age seventy
His room features a extra-long twin bed, Simmons mattress, armoire, 27" TV, VCR and DVD player,
refrigerator, microwave, coffee, green tea, cider, hot chocolate, microwave popcorn, bottled water,
Andes chocolates, private bathroom with shower, and all the other standard features of our Suites.
This room rents for $39 per night with a 10% discount for AAA and AARP members. Extended stays
are welcome.
