The Electric House

Switched diplomas lead to Buster wiring a mansion with numerous “modern” gadgets in The Electric House (1922). This is the second attempt to film this script - in 1920, Buster broke his leg doing stunts on the staircase and the project was shelved. Look for Buster’s father, Joe, in the role of father at the graduation. Written and directed by Eddie Cline and Muskegon’s own Buster Keaton.
In the early 1900’s performers began to spend summers in the Bluffton area. Buster’s father, Joe, helped found the Actor’s Colony club there and by 1911, over 200 performers resided in the colony. By the early 1920’s, the California film industry lured many vaudevillian performers to Hollywood, including Buster and his family.
