GO WEST
Starring Buster Keaton
PHOTOPLAY
January, 1926
It's a rather sad state of affairs when our old friend Buster Keaton can't put over the laughs. He prances around with that frozen look on his face trying to be funny and with the aid of a big cow does his best with an improbable story. The gags are not what they should be, and they don't come fast enough. But all tastes are different . . . you will get a few laughs out of it, anyhow.
GO WEST
Starring Buster Keaton
MOTION PICTURE
February, 1926
Buster Keaton comes out in bovine society here - in a picture which is a satire on the cactus country melodramas. It is not so wildly hilarious as "The Navigator" or two or three others which deserved their blue ribbons.
The stock situations of the cowboy dramas are all in their accustomed places - tho hokumized by the sad-eyed Buster and his contented cow, Brown Eyes, which follows him as the lamb followed Mary.
Buster effects this pathetic expression, but he fails to make it a riot of pathos and humor. Consequently, it falls rather flat. The finish is novel in that Buster's cows stampede a city street on their way to the slaughterhouse and the eventual minute steaks.
