Keaton: The Great Stone Face (clip)

The brilliant and ingenious comedian Buster Keaton ("Sherlock Jr.," "The General," "Our Hospitality") is often ranked as Chaplin's equal in the art of silent film comedy. This documentary explores Keaton's growth as a film comic by showing hilarious examples of his outstanding technique. Keaton also perfected the art of physical comedy, personally performing acrobatics and incredible stunts. Many of his movies dealt with the theme of man overcoming challenge and catastrophe in a world full of mechanical pitfalls. This is a fascinating analysis of the superb style of the "great stonefaced comic." A S-L Film Production. 50 minutes, B/W.

Anna May Wong, was a very beautiful and, dare I say, sexy lady, she should have been a great actress, but sadly, being oriental, she never got the roles she deserved.

I love Youtube and now I love YOU :) lol :) I hadn't been exposed to Anna May Wong, but because of your question I did a bit of research and am very much looking forward to seeing much more of her work. Her voice is hypnotic and she couldn't be prettier. what a talented and lovely actress. thanks for the question... now I can answer most certainly , yes :)
