Charlie Chaplin & Buster Keaton in SEEING STARS (Circa 1922)

[1313Clerk]

That watermark in the bottom right corner angers me. His last name was CHAPLIN!!!

[ultamatefrogmaster]

Charlie cleaning up the kid was juat adorable!!!

[MeganPure]

Does anyone know the music at 7:03? please x

[xpreshun]

You have it wrong...they appeared in limelight together.

[help4343]

@xpreshun

Limelight is not a silent film.

[beinmytrailer]

the man on the right, in the beginning, was william ince. he was purportedly murdered by william randolph hearst.

[LoveAj03]

@pastelpinkgirly No typo. Jackie Coogan, went by Jack Coogan a lot. I think Jack was his real name, and he just turned it into Jackie. Maybe Jackie was a nickname. :)

[RememberRox]

Why is Buster Keatons name so far down the list? Was it perhaps BEFORE his stardom?

[LoveAj03]

@RememberRox I dont think so, I don't think they put them in order of who is more famous like. Charlie I think is the one they really wanted to show off, because no one knew him as anything else but "The Tramp" :)

[Pantraimos]

Keaton is just hilarious! taking things out of the Kids hand like it was everyday. xD

[MJSweetChildofGod]

Why did you tag this with Harold Lloyd, he wasn't in it at all.

[Overratedboys]

It was only rumored that Chaplin and Keaton hated eachother!

They actually were good friends, they even appeared in Chaplin's "Limelight" together.

[Doodle101]

I love it when Buster Keaton takes the little kid's drink at 2:16. The kid looks back like "wtf...?"

[Anya017]

is this supposed to be part of a film, or an actual dinner?

[TheMadHatterAmI]

It is an actual dinner yes, with the most known actors in Hollywood at that time, so ofc. Chaplin and Keaton is a part of it, even if they hated eachother at this time.

[davidbpearson2]

No, Chaplin and Keaton did NOT hate one another. They were friends.

[Overratedboys]

It's an actual dinner, it was rumored that Keaton and Chaplin despised eachother, but eventually they are seen in Limelight and learned to not hate as much.

[operador002]

Un banquetazo "celebrando el dineral que hicieron con Chaplin" y sale Buster Keaton de camarero!! surrealista total, jajajajajajajaaj

[spirmessi]

if you want to learn the cinema history watch *BIRTH OF CINEMA* and enjoy.

[guitarscout84]

The description is not true. Buster and Charlie were in Chaplin's talking picture "Limelight" together. ;)

[twomblypublishing]

true, but the description said the only SILENT film that they were in together.... Limelight was a talkie wasn't it????

[Overratedboys]

The description says Silent Picture, not talking. Limelight was a talkie, so technically this is the only footage of them together in a talkie.

[RememberRox]

@guitarscout84 Perhaps then you didn't read the description properly. It says only SILENT film together. Limelight was not a silent film.

[MrThelama]

respect...!

[VMFA115Starloric]

People did things in general really fast in the 20s. lol

[Anya017]

haha i always wondered about that

[limblimblimblimb]

[sarkastica2007]

what history and cast

[Erisa14]

ha, poor Keaton at the end..

[GeminiNightOwl]

The "kid" was Jackie Coogan who went on to play Uncle Fester in the Adams Family. Jackie COOPER (from the Little Rascals) played Perry White in Superman. Big difference...

[GeminiNightOwl]

The "kid" Jackie Coogan was uncle Fester in the Adams Family.  Jackie COOPER (of the Little Rascals) became Perry White in Superman. Big difference lol

[twomblypublishing]

not enough Keaton ... never enough Keaton :) lol

[brassbend]

I wish today's "important" stars would have a good look at this. These stars are most likely total strangers to them. Just as today's will be 50 years from now... just faces. Sure some are still remembered but...

[Gathol]

the "kid" became Perry White in the '80's superman movies. :)

[ScottStorch17]

I loved those movies

I'd rather watch these movies of Charlie Chaplin than the gay movies coming out these days...

[gustavopuj]

llego navida

[Brianruns10]

Thomas Ince's death by comparison is quite sudden and mysterious. He would die two years after this film, on William R. Hearst's Yacht of a heart attack. Chaplin and Marion Davies were on board, along with many other luminaries. Rumors persist that he was actually shot by Hearst, one account suggesting he was aiming for Chaplin, who was supposedly having an affair with Davies. There was even a recent film about it: "The Cat's Meow."

[XxSeeingStarsXx]

THE FUCKIN ORIGINAL!

[blanknot]

Oh, to have been living in those times...

[tedmacat]

i second that. =)

[KeystoneDays100]

@blanknot be thankful you weren't, or'd you be dead now

[beehoneybumble]

The ladies' hairstyles look like the short perms we wore in the mid '80s.

[54spiritedwill54]

I loved it! Thanks for posting.

[LadyEdgar]

Charlie is so adorable!

[NellsStuff]

Was that Norma Talmage (spelled wrong)? If so, that was Buster's sister-in-law.

[davidbpearson2]

Try Norma Talmadge.

[2doody2]

OMG, i love buster, it is really tragic and upsettin how he died though, and also why he had no laughter because of a stupid circus tricks

[4MaryAnna]

Why,what happened?How did he die?I guess I thought he just died of old age.I love Buster,Harold and Charlie!

Mary-

[convict13]

Buster died in 1966 from Lung cancer in his home in Woodland Hills California. There was nothing particularly tragic about his life at the time, he was happily married and had been for 25 years, he was constantly working and had a small farm that he loved. He could smile and laugh, the stoneface was just his "thing", there are many videos with Buster smiling and laughing both in the 20's and later in his life.

[casukia]

Yes, it's true, he died for cancer, but his life wasn't so happy. Buster had many problems with alcool and he divorced 2 times.

However, he is an icon, and will never die.

[sweetcurmudgeon]

The mythical "tragedy of his life" was largely a result of the 1957 biographical film The Buster Keaton Story, staring Donald O'Connor. It was produced by MGM and comprised largely of defamatory bullshit that attempted to justify the way that they abused and mishandled his genius.

[MDHmodder]

MGM has a history of doing that -_-

starting with dorothy.

[louangiebou]

Buster Keaton was sooooo fine.

[Silyeah0o]

What is this, a cind of movie or what? :o

and why doesn't Chaplin have his stache?

XD

[redviper101]

86 years ago. Things sure are speeding up at a massive rate in human evolution on many levels.

[inci42]

I liked too much the funny comments of that short film.

[romadona11]

I really do not understandwhat was that,,,,,,,,,is it a sort of a coverage on a conference they attended togther,or a programm over strats like the Insider now?

[digimaks]

It's a recordings of a real event, but composed in a film style with comments and little plays addon.

Yeah, like insider coverages.

[StrewnAsunder]

I love the slightly sarcastic voiceover lol!

[doyobimas]

Chaplin was so hansome.

[StrewnAsunder]

I think Keaton is (hes very like johnny depp!)

[DodgeRebellion440]

have you ever seen benny and joon because johnny depp playa a charecter who is trying to be like buster keaton

[crazieburd]

really? i guess i couldn't get over that movies 80's-ness to notice.

[dramaticdragon13]

lol, yup! he sure does. i LOVE that movie!!! haha. one of my favorite johnny depp films. =D

[xInkOnFilmx]

"The world's most expensive waiter - Buster Keaton!" LOL! I love him stealing glasses and stuff from people before they are done, lol. I love Chaplin but he was relatively boring in this, still love him though!

[arrowhead909]

Oops, sorry. It was 1952.

[arrowhead909]

I believe they appeared together in the late 30's or early 40's in a film called "Limelight".

[barb200]

CORRECT!

[xphiler06]

Unless it was just recently changed, the description is accurate. Limelight wasn't a silent picture.

[mattbones]

CLASSIC!

[diravidan]

haha i like th apart when buster grabs the wine glass from that kid, then the kid grabs her father's and immediately as if waiting behind he grabs that one too...my god...so natural comedy.

[Rab379]

Jack Coogan (the Kid) was such a good little actor. I like the part where they r taosting and he's like "where's my glass??" Cant believe he turned into Uncle Fester. The Kid from 1921 was one of my fave Chaplin movies.

And Buster was great, also very good in limelight with Chaplin.

[TokyoStreetReport]

Keaton was the waiter just as a joke.  It was a gag. He also played the waiter at a party at Fatty Arbuckle's house. He was famous at this point, which is what made it fun.

Chaplin and Coogan are cute together here. I love how Chaplin takes a sip of wine and then pantomimes to Jackie "you can drink when you are older."

[bam1957]

A different era. They all seem so happy and young, to think they are now all long since dead, sad.

[creamofcardstv]

I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out my clip of silent movie star tobacco cards. They include: Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Tom Mix, Jackie Coogan, Harold Lloyd and many more.

[elcatirion]

But... Buster really is a waiter??? He work? A waiter?? =( I don't like this, him serving to Chaplin... Is really sad! ¬¬ I hate Chaplin for this, I love his work, but he like a person is... ¬¬ repulsive.

[Flickerfly]

Buster is a guest at the dinner too. But, unlike Chaplin, he decided to put in some extra time as a comedian. He was always working on gags, so he knew it would be funny to play waiter. Consequently, watching Buster snatch things out of people's hands before they've finished is a lot more fun than watching Chaplin sip champagne and behave himself.

Buster did the same thing at the Academy Awards in 1962. He played waiter and served other movie stars. He got an Oscar that evening!

[maraskywalker]

I loved it! Thanks for posting. Where did you find it?

[PC3900]

Uniquely valuable film clip - thanks for posting.
