"The entire basis of comedy when a man wears women's clothes is in his inability to navigate properly, and when one is hampered this way, especially if his work tends towards the acrobats, he's really taking chances."

"Feminine clothing as a first aid to comedy has its drawbacks," according to Buster Keaton. "If the skirts are too narrow, you may get laughs and take a chance on breaking your neck; if they're too wide, you can do any sort of acrobatic trick and still fall short of comedy," explains the comedian.
