Silent Location Encore Performances

Short and sweet, just a few examples of silent film locations making repeat appearances. Sadly, all are long since demolished. The good news, more rare and previously unavailable silent films become accessible on YouTube every day. These YouTube links below should take you to the captured moments.

When Dawn Came (1920) starring Colleen Moore at 03:06 @DavidEickemeyer, filmed at Alameda and Marchesault, where Buster Keaton filmed a scene from Day Dreams (1922).

Replaced by the Union Station, the corner of Alameda in the former Chinatown stood near the Plaza de Los Angeles.

    Excellent,as usual!Recently watched a short directed by Roscoe Arbuckle called “Fool`s Luck”starring Lupino Lane from 1926.It steals that Buster gag regarding approaching train.What is interesting about that film is all the scenery.One such that also appeared in “The Scrarecrow”where Buster and Sybil are making their madcap escape to go get married.It is a small underpass.
