Contributing to Film History The Army Pictorial Center website was
able to contribute to some pre-Army film history. Using the aerial view of APC, above,
author John Bengston was able to identify street locations used
by Buster Keaton around the Astoria Studio in 1936.
The picture
of APC from the air was sent in by
Ron Hutchinson (HUTCHINSON,
RON, SP5, still photographer, assistant cameraman and
projectionist, January 1961 to January 1963).
Hutchinson also provided a number of APC photos from that
time. Bengston
is
the author of a series of books about Charlie Chaplin, Buster
Keaton, and Harold Lloyd, entitled Silent
Traces, Silent
Echoes, and Silent Visions,
respectively. His books examine the historical settings
preserved in the background of their classic films, and the
changes wrought by the ensuing decades.
Bengston was able to use the APC aerial shot to identify
Keaton’s street locations. https://silentlocations.com/2018/09/03/buster-keatons-blue-blazes-in-astoria/ Page created June 9, 2019.
