  • Buster Keaton Film Locations: a Silent Echoes Tour of Los Angeles
    BUSTER KEATON FILM LOCATIONS: A SILENT ECHOES TOUR OF LOS ANGELES Copyright 2005 John Bengtson. All rights reserved. The following self-guided tour directions have been provided as a special bonus to John Bengtson’s “Touring Los Angeles Through the Films of Buster Keaton” presentation at the UCLA Film and Television Archive. (You can also download this document from the Archive’s website at www.cinema.ucla.edu.) New locations have been added here to the ones discussed in Bengtson’s acclaimed book, Silent Echoes: Discovering Early Hollywood Through the Films of Buster Keaton (www.SilentEchoes.net, Santa Monica Press: 800-784-9553). Happy navigating your way around town! Hollywood Tour The Hollywood tour begins, symbolically, at the corner of Hollywood and Vine (1). Here Keaton jumped onto a fire truck in The Cameraman. Proceed west down Hollywood Boulevard past Highland, to Mann’s (formerly Grauman’s) Chinese Theater. There, across the street between Highland and Orange, at 6904 Hollywood Blvd., is the former Mary Moll Building (2), which appeared briefly during the film-editing sequence from Sherlock Jr. Turn back east down Hollywood Blvd., and turn right (south) onto Cahuenga, stopping near the corner. The alley on the east side of Cahuenga (3) is the alley from Cops where Keaton grabs a passing car one- handed. Proceed south down Cahuenga a few yards until you reach the parking lot at 1622 Cahuenga (4), the lot where Brown Eyes was kept safe in Go West. This parking lot also appears in The Cameraman. Across the street from the parking lot (5) is the site of the former fire station that appears in Three Ages and The Cameraman.

    4 Raiding the archive: film festivals and the revival of Classic Hollywood Julian Stringer History becomes heritage in various ways. Artifacts become appropriated by particular historical agendas, by particular ideologies of preservation, by specific versions of public history, and by particular values about exhibition, design, and display. (Arjun Appadurai and Carol A. Breckenridge)1 Film Studies has to date paid too little attention to the role cultural institutions play in the transformation of cinema history into heritage. At the dawn of cinema’s second century, a range of organisational bodies – including museums and art galleries, the publicity and promotion industries, film journalism and publishing, as well as the academy – work to activate and commodify memory narratives concerning the movies’ own glorious and fondly recalled past. Such bodies serve different kinds of agendas, broadly identifiable as the commercial, the cultural and the educational (or a combination thereof). However, all help determine the specific shape of current thinking regarding cinema’s past, present and future. At a time when more films than ever before are being exhibited on a greater number of different kinds of screens than ever before, the cumulative effect of all this institutional activity is to create consen- sus around which films should be remembered and which forgotten. With so many ‘old’ and contemporary titles jockeying for position at the multiplex and the art cinema, on television and cable, video, DVD and the Internet, as well as in the classroom, the relatively small number of titles eventually sold, projected, written about, taught or revived, will be largely confined to those legitimised for one reason or another by these different kinds of organisational bodies.

Madelyn turned up? HARDY (V.O.) Completely out of the blue. Haven’t seen her in fifteen years... 1INT. DRESSING ROOM/ROACH LOT/STUDIO - DAY 1 Oliver HARDY leans against the door to a dressing room, worried expression, talking to his friend Stan LAUREL. Both are in their late-40s, (at the peak of their movie careers), but to begin with we have no real clue as to who they are, where they are or what they do. They are just two guys in cheap suits talking to each other. HARDY lights up a cigarette as he talks. HARDY There she was, all gussied up on the front door step. And that’s something I never thought I’d see again. LAUREL picks up a boot (the right one) with a large hole in the sole. Using a knife he levers off the heel. LAUREL What’d she want? HARDY Twenty thousand bucks. LAUREL Twenty thousand? HARDY Fifteen years of back alimony. I ** said ‘what alimony? When we broke ** up I gave you whatever money I had ** and you took the car.’ We both ** agreed that was that. LAUREL Jeez even Mae wasn’t after that much - and she wanted me to pay for a chauffeur.

The latest annual UCLA Festival of Preservation is now touring the country. The Siskel Film Center is one of its whistle-stops. And the new lineup, through Oct. 5, spans a mind-altering range of material, from ripe, rare silent dramas to a Duke Ellington "soundie" to Buster Keaton doingSamuel Beckett. Silents first. A double bill of rare features screens Monday. A bizarre 1926 mix of romantic comedy and Yellow Peril melodrama, director Paul Sloane's "Eve's Leaves" (3 p.m. Monday) stars easygoing Leatrice Joy as a sea captain's daughter brought up, more or less and mostly at sea, as a short- haired, trousers-sporting boy. Looking for love (or "vibrations," as they're called in a romance guide lent to her by the ship's cook) the young woman begins vibrating in the vicinity of an American tourist (William Boyd, a right simp). But a Fu Manchu-school Chinese pirate (Walter Long) wants the newly fragrant and gussied-up delicacy for himself. "Eve's Leaves" is not the film to consult for enlightened racial attitudes.

Composée de leurs longs métrages les plus fameux (The Gold Rush, 1925, Safety Last!, 1923, ou encore Our Hospitality, 1923) ainsi que de plu- sieurs séances de courts métrages, la programmation ravira petits et grands. Le thème de la mer revient régulièrement (Steamboat Bill Jr., 1928 ou A Sailor-Made Man, 1921), préparant en douceur l’arrivée des vacances d’été. En parallèle, une exposition met toujours à l’honneur l’illustrateur de cinéma Yves Thos, qui a notamment signé les affiches des films Il bidone, Les Dents du diable, La Femme et le Pantin ou encore Spartacus. Au début de sa carrière, il travaille pour le Consortium des Arts Publicitaires puis Pilote Publicité, deux sociétés qui collaborent étroi- tement avec Pathé. La Fondation expose principalement des affiches, des maquettes et des documents personnels de l’artiste. Guillaume Boulangé et Christian Rolot, commis- saires de l’exposition et auteurs d’une monographie consacrée à Yves Thos, proposent une visite commentée exceptionnelle, suivie d’une présentation de Marie-Octobre (1959) de Julien Duvivier le 22 juin. Ce mois-ci, nous poursuivons également notre série de projections en lien avec la parution d’ouvrages de cinéma.
