Play House, The (1921)
*** (out of 4)
Buster Keaton short starts off with a dream sequence where he plays twenty plus different characters. The second half of the film deals with Keaton destroying a stage play. To call this a gimmick film would be an understatement because Keaton certainly goes all out in the first part of the picture. I wouldn't say anything at the start is funny but it's certainly amazing and interesting to watch. The second part of the film is where the laughs start to pile up including a wonderful bit where Keaton plays the part of a monkey.
