SILENT COMEDY HOLLYWOOD !
A look at various silent comedies turning the camera on themselves and their industry!
A FILM JOHNNY (1914, 15 mins., starring Charlie Chaplin)
Charlie's attempts to meet his favorite movie actress doesn't make him a lot of friends at the Keystone Studio.
A classic slapstick comedy featuring Chaplin (as stagehand David) mostly manhandling large props. The plotline also includes a strike by the stagehands and the first Hollywood gay jokes.
THE DARE DEVIL (1923, 20 mins, starring Ben Turpin, directed by Del Lord)
"The Dare-Devil" is one of the comedy classics of the silent screen, a consistently funny slapstick parody on moviemaking. While the plot about a pampered star insisting a stunt man do all the difficult scenes might seem a bit cliché in the 21st century, it was a newer concept in this film made over 90 years ago. (AXS Entertainment)
THE LIFE AND DEATH OF 9413 A HOLLYWOOD EXTRA (1923, 13 mins.)
This short experimental film tells the story of a man who comes to Hollywood to become a star, only to fail and work as extra 9413.
THE GROUNDS OPEN AT 5:00 p.m.
SHUTTLE SERVICE STARTS AT 5:00 p.m. AT THE CORNER OF SUNSET AND LOS LIONES.
