Prehistory in The Three Ages of Buster Keaton
Abstract
The Three Ages (The Three Ages, 1923) is therefore inserted within what is known as joke-films or burlesques, that is, they are based on the succession of visual gags or jokes rather than on narrative elaboration. The Three Ages is the second of the three silent comedies on Prehistory, after Charlot's dream in His Prehistoric Past, Charlie Chaplin, 1914, and the subsequent adventures of Laurel and Hardy in Flying Elephants, Frank Butler, 1927
