    For those of you who may be wondering exactly where they are: Wally Cox’s star is located on the north side of Hollywood blvd, just a bit to the East of the intersection with Cahuenga… (and about two blocks west of Hollywood & Vine)…

    It was just to the south of here, where Buster Keaton filmed one of his great knock-about gags… During the filming of “Cops”, Buster ran out of the alley (by where the World Book & News Stand is now) chased by a mob of Cops… About in the middle of Cahuenga, he turned his back to the camera, facing the approaching Cops – then between them, heading south, came a Phaeton Auto, – Buster reached out with his right hand, Grabbed the car and was whisked off screen!

    I’ve read somewhere that it was impossible to actually grab and hold onto a moving car with one hand – there just isn’t enough strength in a human hand – even Buster couldn’t do that! So he had cleverly worn a harness under his shirt, with a strap that ran down his right arm under the shirt sleeve – on the end of the strap was a hook, held in his hand — so as the Phaeton came by, all Buster needed to do was reach out and hook the canvas top — after that he was Leaving!! Reportedly, Buster was a bit banged up doing the stunt – it was a tough life being a Comedian in Silent Flix – but he left us a Great visual gag!!

    All this has nothing actually to do with our story as such… Just an odd bit of Hollywood history…
