Silent Location Encore Performances
Short and sweet, just a few examples of silent film locations making repeat appearances. Sadly, all are long since demolished. The good news, more rare and previously unavailable silent films become accessible on YouTube every day. These YouTube links below should take you to the captured moments.
When Dawn Came (1920) starring Colleen Moore at 03:06 @DavidEickemeyer, filmed at Alameda and Marchesault, where Buster Keaton filmed a scene from Day Dreams (1922).
