Much of the landscape has changed since the Silent Era, but Bengtson spices his examination with revelations about the tunnels that passed through several L.A. hills that no longer ex­ ist, the sidewalk plaque commemorating the site of Mutual Film Corporation’s Lone Star Studio on the wrong side of the street, the location of the classic scene of the Lit­ tle Tramp shuffling off to a new adventure along Niles Canyon Road in Fremont, and the accidental discovery that Chaplin used the Trinity Auditorium Building—now the Embassy Hotel (and soon to be the Gan­ sevoort West), just three blocks from the Los Angeles Public Library—for outdoor scenes in The Bank (1915).	cache/crln-7726.pdf	txt/crln-7726.txt
