If we were in Skidmore today in 1921, we could see Buster Keaton at the Royal. Here’s the advertisement from the April 7, 1921 Skidmore News (Skidmore, Missouri), page 5:
Advertisement reads, “Fun Night. Saturday Night April 9th. Buster Keaton in a two-reel, side-splitting comedy entitled “One Week.” He’d bring a smile to a wooden image. Broke loose in a museum, he’d tickle the mummies to life again. And — Taylor Holmes in the sensational New York Farce Comedy success, “The Very Idea.” Shows how careful children must be in selecting their parents. A snappy comedy of Dietetics, Athletics and Eugenics with plenty of laugh. Saturday Night April 9. 15 and 25 cents. The Royal.”
