Silent Monday Movies: Sherlock Jr. & The Love Nest

Music by Christian Elliott on the Mighty Wurlitzer.

Buster Keaton directs and stars in SHERLOCK JR. (1924) and the short film THE LOVE NEST (1923) also written by Keaton.

Sherlock Jr. finds Keaton as a daydreaming film projectionist who longs to be a detective and put his crime solving skills to use. Sherlock Jr. is perhaps one of Keaton's most cherished works and was placed on the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 1991.

The Love Nest was Keaton's 19th and final short film before transitioning exclusively to feature length productions and tells the tale of a heartbroken man lost at sea in a small boat who climbs aboard a whaling ship only to discover a merciless captain at the helm.
