    This was taken at San Simeon, not the MGM lot. See matching architectural details here: http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/urban-adventures-hearst

    This looks more like circa 1926-27; look at Keaton’s hair style a la THE GENERAL.

    This is a very important photo. In it are some of the people who are the authors of the greatest changing in mankind made by one single art, the cinema.
