I just found out the other day that I will be in Los Angeles during the last
week of May-first week of June.
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any interesting historical landmarks
of the silent era that you could recommend. I'm familiar with the
Lasky-DeMille barn where "The Squaw Man" was shot (this is now called the
Hollywood Heritage museum, and will probably be my first stop). I believe
the William S. Hart ranch was open to the public at least as recently as a
couple years ago. I also plan to attend the Silent Movie Theatre which I've
read so much about here.
Any suggestions on well-known silent-era landmarks (and especially
lesser-known ones) would be very much appreciated.

Get ahold of copies of Silent Echoes and Silent Traces by John
Bengtson for location shot locations for Keaton and Chaplin films. |

You should track down a copy of this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Lovers-Ultimate-Insider-L/dp/0767916352
It's obviously not devoted exclusively to silent-era landmarks, but
there are more than enough to make a decent-sized list of places to
visit.
Hollywood Forever Cemetery is definitely worth a visit.

Definitely check out the old Chaplin studio on La Brea, just south of
Sunset, and the Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Boulevard -- the latter
dates from 1919 and was host to many silent stars on many occasions,
including Chaplin. You can have a drink and dine there with a crowd of
ghosts.

A few:
- The Hollywood Forever Cemetary has a lot to offer. Douglas
Fairbanks grave site is worth the trip.
- Pickfair. Although the house has been rebuilt, the gates are
still there and Chaplin's house is right next door.
- Greenacres. Kind of hard to see from the street, but the
fountains alone merit a visit.
- Chaplin Studios. Now home of the Muppets, the exterior looks
exactly the same.
- Downtown LA. On the Harold Lloyd DVD set there is a "Then & Now"
comparison of many downtown streets.
- Magic Castle. Harry Houdini's house has tours with magic shows.
- Hearst Castle. About 3 1/2 hours north of LA, the castle
celebrates it's 50th year as an attraction.
- On the corner of Highland and Hollywood Blvd., accross the corner
from the Kodak theater, there is a new museum that is supposed to have
some silent memorabilia. Not sure of the name though, just heard
about it last weekend and haven't gone there yet.
Also, if you have a chance, look up Eddie Brandts Saturday Matinee
online. They are the oldest video store in LA, (possibly the
country), and have just about anything that has ever been released on
any home video format, and what they don't have they can get. They do
mail rentals too I believe. The store is always full of people
talking movies. Lots of fun for this movie geek.

In alt.movies.silent, Matt Barry had the audacity to say that:

heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and
