3:00 p.m.	Seven Chances Buster Keaton (U.S., 1925)

In order to live up to the terms of a windfall inheritance, our hapless hero Buster has just one day to find a bride. Confidence leads to desperation and finally panic as he is reduced to "proposing to anyone in skirts, including a Scotsman." The film is an avalanche of amazing and hilarious stunts, culminating in a famous chase in which a motley gang of angry would-be brides—some of them even women—pursue Buster across Los Angeles and into the heart of a rockslide. (Be prepared, however, for some racist sight gags of the sort common in many films of this period.)

• Written by Jean Havez, Joseph Mitchell, Clyde Bruckman, from a play by Roy Cooper Megrue. Photographed by Elgin Lessley, Byron Houck. With Keaton, T. Roy Barnes, Snitz Edwards, Ruth Dwyer. (56 mins)

Preceded by short:
The Balloonatic (Buster Keaton, Eddie Cline, U.S., 1923). A hot-air balloon sets Buster out in nature, which is decidedly unwelcoming. (25 mins)
