The Flicker Alley Chaplin at Keystone Collection is so sharp I was able to prove that Chaplin filmed several early films on Sunset Blvd. just a few blocks from the Keystone Studio. You can read about it here. http://silentlocations.wordpress.com/2014/04/23/chaplin-100-years-ago-on-sunset-boulevard/ ...

Charlie filmed Easy Street at a real Hollywood police station, and soon every other comedian filmed there as well.

Johnny Depp not only emulated Keaton and Chaplin in Benny and Joon , he filmed scenes from Ed Wood at the same Hollywood alley where they had filmed 70 years prior. Check out how East Cahuenga Alley looks now, and in 1922/1994. http://silentlocations.wordpress.com/2013/09/08/johnny-depp-and-buster-k...

Three of the greatest comedies ever made, by the three greatest comedians, all contain vital scenes filmed at the same Hollywood location you can still visit today. http://silentlocations.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/the-kid-cops-safety-last-three-comic-masterpieces-filmed-at-a-common-hollywood-alley-yo...

The brief missing scene of Buster trying to film the admiral leaving a hotel is included in this Internet Archive copy of the film at 17:57. The hotel appearing in the brief shot is the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, that appears in Chaplin's City Lights. http://archive.org/details/busterkeatonthecameraman...
