Duck Soup Cinema
Steamboat Bill, Jr.
In 2016, Steamboat Bill, Jr. was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of
Congress, as it was identified as a historic and socially significant silent film. We recognize that there are images in Steamboat Bill that may be considered socially insensitive in 2017. Please be aware that this movie was released in 1928 and depicts
some of the theatric conventions of the time.
In the movie, William “Steamboat Bill” Canfield is the owner and captain of a paddle steamer that has seen better days. He
eagerly awaits the arrival of his college student son, whom he has not seen since the lad was a baby. Expecting a big, husky
man like himself to help him compete with businessman John James King and his brand new, luxurious riverboat, he is sorely
disappointed with his slight, awkward offspring, who shows up with a pencil moustache, a ukulele and a beret. He becomes
outraged when he discovers that his son and King’s daughter Kitty are in love. Both business rivals are determined to break
up the relationship.
When Canfield’s ship is condemned as unsafe, he accuses King of orchestrating it. He assaults his enemy and is put in jail.
His son tries to free him by bringing him a loaf of bread with tools hidden inside, but his scheme is detected. The sheriff hits
Canfield Jr. on the head, sending him to the hospital.
As Canfield Jr. makes his way through the town, a cyclone hits, causing a building front to fall all around him – Keaton’s
best-known stunt. He reaches his father’s ship and rescues first Kitty, then his father, and finally Kitty’s father. When Kitty
goes to her hero, she is puzzled when he jumps into the water. However, his purpose becomes clear when he returns, towing
a minister in a lifebuoy.

BIO ON THE STAR OF THE FILM
Joseph Frank “Buster” Keaton was born into a vaudeville family in Piqua, Kansas. According to
a frequently repeated story, Keaton acquired the nickname “Buster” at about 18 months of age.
Keaton told an interviewer that Houdini was present one day when he took a tumble down a
long flight of stairs without injury. After the infant sat up and shook off his experience, Houdini
remarked, “That was a real buster!” Per Keaton, in those days, the word “buster” was used to refer
to a spill or a fall that had the potential to produce injury. After this, it was Keaton’s father who
began to use the nickname to refer to the youngster.
At the age of three, Keaton began performing with his parents in The Three Keatons. He first
appeared on stage in 1899 in Wilmington, Delaware. The act was mainly a comedy sketch. Young
Keaton would prod his father by disobeying him, and the elder Keaton would respond by throwing
him against the scenery, into the orchestra pit, or even into the audience. (A suitcase handle was
sewn into Keaton’s clothing to aid with the constant tossing). The act evolved as Keaton learned
to take trick falls safely; he was rarely injured or bruised on stage. This knockabout style of comedy
led to accusations of child abuse, and occasionally, arrest. However, Buster Keaton was always able
to show the authorities that he had no bruises or broken bones. He was eventually billed as “The
Little Boy Who Can’t Be Damaged,” with the overall act being advertised as “’The Roughest Act
That Was Ever in the History of the Stage.” Decades later, Keaton said that he was never hurt by
his father and that the falls and physical comedy were a matter of proper technical execution.
In 1914, Keaton told the Detroit News: “The secret is in landing limp and breaking the fall with a
foot or a hand. It’s a knack. I started so young that landing right is second nature with me. Several
times I would have been killed if I hadn’t been able to land like a cat. Keaton claimed he was
having so much fun that he would sometimes begin laughing as his father threw him across the
stage. Noticing that this drew fewer laughs from the audience, he adopted his famous deadpan
expression whenever he was working. The act ran up against laws banning child performers in
vaudeville.
By the time Keaton was 21, his father’s alcoholism threatened the reputation of the family act, so he
and his mother, Myra, left for New York, where his career swiftly moved from vaudeville to film.
In 1921, Keaton married Natalie Talmadge. She co-starred with Keaton in Our Hospitality. The
couple had two sons, Joseph, aka Buster Keaton Jr. and Robert Talmadge Keaton. After the birth
of Robert, the relationship began to suffer. Keaton was known for designing and modifying his own
pork pie hats during his career. In 1964, he told an interviewer he started with a good Stetson and
cut it down, stiffening the brim with sugar water. The hats were often destroyed during Keaton’s
wild film antics; some were given away as gifts and some were snatched by souvenir hunters.
Keaton said he was lucky if he used only six hats in making a film.
His career declined afterward with a dispiriting loss of his artistic independence when he was
hired by MGM, which resulted in a crippling alcoholism that ruined his family life. He recovered
in the 1940s and remarried Eleanor Norris, who was 23 years his junior. She has been credited by
Jeffrey Vance with saving Keaton’s life by stopping his heavy drinking and helping to salvage his
career. Keaton revived his career as an honored comic performer for the rest of his life, earning an
Academy Honorary Award in 1959. Between 1947 and 1954, they appeared regularly in the Cirque
Medrano in Paris as a double act. She came to know his routines so well that she often participated
in them on TV revivals. The marriage lasted until Keaton died of lung cancer in 1966.
Keaton is best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a
consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname “The Great Stone Face”. Critic
Roger Ebert wrote of Keaton’s “extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, when he worked without
interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history
of the movies”.
Keaton has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one for motion pictures and the other for
television.

HOST JOE THOMPSON
Joe Thompson has appeared on Madison stages countless times (plus one if you are counting
tonight). He has always been a swell dresser and he likes to eat before he is hungry. Every
Monday Joe sketches waterfowl and recites Zen poetry aloud, but the rest of his week is fairly
normal. Right now he is taking attendance… please raise your hand. He is a member of Madison’s
sketch comedy troupe “The Prom Committee” and co-author of “Fatherhood, The Musical” with
Phil Martin. He is the proud father of three and the lucky husband of one.
GRAND BARTON ORGAN
Like all grand movie theaters built during the Silent Film Era, the Capitol Theater had a pipe
organ that allowed a single musician to fill the theater with music while movies were being shown.
Overture Center’s organ is a Barton, manufactured by the Bartola Musical Instrument Company
in Oshkosh. It is believed to be the oldest Barton in Wisconsin, and the only one in the state
remaining in its original location and condition. The instrument is such a rare gem that in 1990
it was honored by the Organ Historical Society as “an instrument of exceptional merit,” the first
time a theater organ had been so recognized by the society, which typically reserves such honors
for the grand pipe organs found in churches.
Hollywood had premiered the first “talkie,” the year before the Capitol Theater opened, but it
took a while for sound films to catch on, and the Barton got a lot of use in the early years of the
Capitol Theater. As sound films became popular, the organ was used for sing-alongs and pre-feature entertainment, but as film showings lost their pageantry, this role diminished.
The gold and red horseshoe-shaped console is the most visible part of the instrument, but the
organ’s sound comes from 1,034 pipes hidden in chambers on either side of the stage. The large
illuminated console and its 141 stop keys and three manuals is usually located at house right. At
one time, it was on its own elevator in the orchestra pit. It was moved to make space for the many
large-scale productions staged in the theater. A seven and one half horsepower blower in the
basement of the theater powers the organ and the massive electrical switching system is sealed
in a special room high in the building. This electrical relay is so large that it was put in place before
the theater was finished in 1928 and could only be removed with considerable demolition of the
building.
The smallest pipes, which produce the high notes, are the size of a soda straw, and the largest are
16 feet tall and 18 inches in diameter. The pipes that produce the deepest notes are eight feet
high and about 24 inches square, made of thick, knotless pine slabs. Like any wind instrument, the
sound comes from air passing through the pipes, but the wind is supplied by a seven-horsepower
air pump, rather than a musician’s breath. The pipes are divided into fourteen ranks, or sets, that
mimic the instruments of an orchestra.
In addition, a “toy counter” offers special sounds like a chirping bird, auto horn, sleigh bells and
percussive effects.
An important part of keeping the organ in top condition is regular use. Overture Center continues to use the organ as part of the center’s Duck Soup Cinema series.

ORGANIST JELANI EDDINGTON
During the years that Jelani Eddington has given concerts, he has easily established himself as
one of the most prominent and sought-after artists on the concert circuit. Jelani has performed
in most of the major concert venues throughout the United States, has toured extensively
abroad, and has received numerous awards and recognitions, including his selection as the 2001
Theatre Organist of The Year.
Jelani Eddington was born in Muncie, Indiana to Louise Eddington and the late Robert
Eddington and grew up in a very musical family. Between the interests of his mother, a
professional music teacher of many years, and those of his grandmother, Florence Arnold, a
well-respected piano instructor, it was no surprise when Jelani demonstrated an inclination toward
music at a very early age.
Shortly after beginning piano instruction at the age of four, Jelani began studying classical piano
under the direction of his grandmother. At the age of eight, a trip to hear the 4-manual 42-rank
Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ installed in the Indianapolis, Indiana restaurant, the Paramount
Music Palace, introduced Jelani to the sounds of the theatre pipe organ. Soon thereafter, he
began to pursue classical organ lessons and ultimately began studying theatre organ under the
direction of John Ferguson, whose skills as a theatre organ instructor have been highly acclaimed
internationally.
At the age of 13, Jelani won the American Theatre Organ Society’s Young Theatre Organist
Competition, prevailing over competitors ages 13-21 from the United States, England, Australia,
and New Zealand. Jelani remains the youngest competitor ever to win this title. Jelani went on to
graduate Magna Cum Laude from Indiana University in 1996, and later received a Juris Doctor
degree from the Yale Law School in 1999, after which time he was admitted to practice law in
New York State.
During the course of his concert career, Jelani has been featured at numerous national and
regional conventions of the American Theatre Organ Society, and has toured extensively
throughout the world, including numerous concert appearances in the United States, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. He has also accompanied numerous silent films and
appears regularly at film series. In 2007, Jelani accompanied the classic film, The Hunchback of
Notre Dame, for an international organ festival in Finland on the country’s largest pipe organ.
In addition to his work as an organist, Jelani has also distinguished himself as a concert pianist,
appearing recently as a guest pianist for performances of Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto
in A-Minor, George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, and Leroy Anderson’s Piano Concerto
in C-Major. In February 2008, Jelani was invited to perform two special performances of
Anderson’s concerto with the Tulsa Signature Symphony as part of a celebration of Leroy
Anderson’s centennial.
Jelani has also produced and marketed over 30 theatre organ albums on some of the best-known
and most dynamic instruments in the country. In August 2001, the American Theatre Organ
Society honored Jelani’s extensive career as a concert and recording organist by naming him
the 2001 Theatre Organist of The Year. Jelani retains the distinction of being the youngest-ever
recipient of this prestigious honor.
