The Surviving Chaplin - The Circus tree
A massive oak tree that witnessed, and appears in, the finale to Charlie Chaplin's The Circus (1928) still stands on Verdugo Road in Glendale. https://silentlocations.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/circus-end-large-labels-crop2.jpg https://silentlocations.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/920-n-verdugo-road-...

Well actually, it didn't take me that long to find the Colorado Street Bridge being used in Keystone's LOVE, SPEED AND THRILLS (released January 18, 1915) a good year before Weber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti27vQBe6Qc look around the 12:43 mark.

Pioneer Lois Weber used locations before Chaplin and Keaton

Keaton's "What No Beer?" Barrel Avalanche
While much has been written about Keaton’s loss of control working for MGM, What No Beer? (1932), Buster's final MGM picture, contains a pure, elaborately staged “Keatonesque” moment, when Buster struggles with a truck load of beer barrels on a steep hill, recalling the avalanche scenes from his sil...

Arbuckle and Keaton at the Biograph Studios
Arbuckle and Keaton filmed Oh Doctor! (1917) at the Biograph Studios 100 years ago in the Bronx, near Crotona Park. Many settings from the film are still recognizable, and even appear in the early 60s sitcom Car 54 Where Are You? https://silentlocations.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/oh-doctor-1979-mar...
