Hey Steve, just happy to be alive to watch your show. Last Friday, while working at Walmart, I was rushed by ambulance as I had a brain tumor in my frontal lobe. Luckily I was at work when I seized. Your show helped me get through the hospital stay. And the tumor was benign. Thanks for all you do. I enjoy your show. Your Friend Jeff Judd
Hi Steve 🙋♂️! Oh m'gosh that is so cool about Cactus Slim's life after movies, and his lookalike 💕 son Clark! Love the KSC, Mack Sennet 👮♂️👮♂️ Trivia 😂😉 cheers 🐦🇨🇦
Clark seems like a nice guy. I am always heartened when owners of famous sites come out, happy and enthusiastic to see you. All too often they're usually more inclined to run us off. Everyone there named "Slim?" Have a GREAT weekend Steve!!
I Anthony, I know I was very pleasantly surprised too! And I was wondering the same thing. Slim must’ve been a very popular nickname back in the day. I think there are a few fatty‘s to, like Patti Arbuckle. They weren’t as politically correct back then! 😊
Oh wow I just remembered my grandparents having reels of film of the keystone cops. Every Sunday night grandpa would set up grandma would hang a white sheet up and we would watch for hours. Thank you Steve for jotting a long ago memory of my childhood.
One day after Canada Day,and you post a video of Quebec born Mack Sennett! I'm always amazed by how many of my fellow Canadians wind up in the entertainment industry. The silent movie era was fascinating. Thanks again Steve.
The Keystone Cops will always hold a special place in my heart. I would watch the reruns with my great grandma as a little girl in the 7os. I can't believe I'm just seeing this video. Thanks for the special memories of my GG Barrett 💖
Steve - This was fascinating. I don't think I've seen another video that paid tribute to the keystone cops. It's way past due, I believe. The sheer number of films this group of actors were in is astonishing. Great video Steve. Thank you for sharing this. Blessings-Judith 🎵🎭
Gotta love the Keystone Cops. From watching their films I have to wonder how close those guys came to serious injury or even death many times while giving millions of people great laughs. Thanks Steve, take care.
I agree, Ray. It’s shocking how dangerous it all looks. The same with the Three Stooges in Laurel and Hardy. It’s a miracle that they all survived as long as they did. 😳👍
Hello Steve, Thanks for sharing the great memories of the Keystone Cops and the laughter they brought to the films 🎥 May they Rest in Peace 🙏 Have a great 4th 🇺🇲
I love the Keystone Cops. I've got some great memories of them on Saturday morning TV, back when their shorts were shown along side Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stoodges shows. I loved them all. I'm 67 and that was in the 1960's!
I love love love the old silent comedies! I have autism so the slapstick when I was growing up was and still is really funny too me. It truly was a small world when silent movies were being made. Great work as always.
I’m happy to hear that Maryann! I know most people aren’t into silent films that much anymore and I knew this video wouldn’t get very many views, but I still thought it was interesting and wanted to do it anyway! 😊👍
Nice video. But you missed one thing in Inglewood. If you had gone to Inglewood City Hall, on West Manchester Boulevard, you would have seen Quincy's workplace. Meaning the TV series Quincy M.E. with Jack Klugman who died on December 24, 2012. Jack Klugman was born in Philadelphia April 27, 1922. They used that building (Inglewood City Hall) as the Los Angeles Medical Examiners Office. I love that show ! Thanks for showing a bit of Palm Springs. Ed.
That was awesome. I love all the keystone cops shorts! I know I’ve seen them all. In fact, I think I’ve seen all the comedy silent movies and short films. My favorite of all time is Harold Lloyd. I would have loved to meet him. Thank you Mr. Steve for this excellent video. Sheeesh, talk about bringing back memories! Thanks again.
👍 Thanks Steve 😊, for another great video of time's past. Bill and our son still laugh watching them keystone cops, and Laurel and Hardy . Have a Great 4th🎉 memories
Thanks Bev, and I’m so happy to hear that people are still watching the silent films all these years later. You guys have a great Fourth of July too! 🎆😊👍
Another really interesting vlog. Always look forward to your new releases. Holy Cross is a beautiful cemetery, I have relatives there and didn't realize so many celebrities there. I hope to make a visit there soon, haven't been there in years.
Hi Steve! My mother lives in Echo Park a couple of blocks away from the old Mack Sennet studios where the Keystone Cops were filmed. It was converted into a Public Storage facility but it is the original studio bldg. There's also a Charlie Chaplin Square on the corner with a coffee shop.
As a lover of silent films since I was a little kid who used to go to the theater all by myself to watch them on "silent Saturday" at our local old movie palace, I really loved this. But I must admit that my favorite pie-in-the-face moment involved Anita Bryant. 😜🤣
Steve.....yet another great vlog. On one of your many trips to Westwood you visited Rod McKuen, his mother ,and partner Mr Habib. You quoted something Rod had said. Remember? Best to Jim. Stay safe
A little bit of funny info on the pie in the face. Rick Nelson from Ozzie and Harriet fame used to have a yearly thing with his sons Matthew and Gunnar that some time during their birthday. That the birthday person would get a pie in the face. You never knew when and where you would get it. Matt and Gun continue this on on their birthdays too. It was funny they were doing a live interview and Gunnar kept turning around to keep from getting pied. It's sad so many of these men died so young. Thank you for all your hard work on these vlogs.
What a great story Maria. I have never heard this before. Thank you so much for sharing with us! I wouldn’t wanna be the one cleaning up the mess each year though! 😂👍
Hi ! Jeepers ! It's the cops!! LoL! Nice , interesting vlog! The good old days were great , weren't they? Great vlog as always! Stay cool and keep vloggin! Deborah. Winnipeg ,. Canada
Another excellent visit with you Steve. I may have missed your other visits to comedians of the silent screen and was glad to see the very nice place of rest for Ben Turpin, one of my favorites. Have you visited Charlie Chase? He's another I've enjoyed, especially the film where he is hanging onto a large clock outside a building as a lion is pawing at him. Only Charlie Chase could get himself in that kind of a situation. Thanks again Steve.
When my mum was alive she would talk often about the keystone cops and the silly shenanigans and if we were running around and falling over and behaving silly as kids she’d say it’s like watching an episode of the keystone cops . It’s funny I never understood it not just being a saying but after seeing a keystone cops episode finally understood lol 😂
Thank you so very much for sharing your awesome videos ! I really enjoyed it as I always do enjoy your videos ! I could not comment for several days as the comment section was not working for me so catching up on the ones I missed commenting on !I dont know if its a You Tube thing or not that causes the circle to go round and round in the comment section not allowing me to comment but its working now !
Nice show, Steve. I've been a fan, collector & researcher of Sennett comedians & comedies (my hero is Ben Turpin) for over 50 years and I too never heard of Chester 'Cactus Slim' Moorten (but will try to do some digging). Regarding actor / director George Jeske (born Jaeschke), he died at age 60 on Oct 28, 1951 and buried in Indio, California at the Coachella Valley Cemetery.
That is awesome Turpinutz! And thank you so much for the heads up on Jeske’s gravesite. Right here in my own backyard and I had no idea he was there. The very first video I did for this channel was a visit to the Coachella Valley cemetery. I will call the cemetery and see if they will tell me where he’s buried. Thanks again T! 😊👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel Now that's convenient! :-) Great, Steve, and you're welcome. Jeske directed a lot of comedies in the silent days with Billy Franey, Stan Laurel, and others. BTW, If Chester Moorten worked for Sennett, I'm guessing he was there in the mid-1920's. I just found a reference from the Sept 25, 1927 St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Chester Moorten, the human skeleton, has been in many moving pictures, mostly as an emaciated dope addict. He is 6'-3" and weighs only 140 lbs. His waist measurement is 26" and his chest 34"." His 1930 Census entry lists him as 'Motion Picture Extra." - SteveR, Philadelphia
@@Turpinutz You are a very good researcher is Steve. Thank you for sharing this. It’s interesting how so much of the acting back then was based on physical characteristics!
@@TheGraveyardChannel You're very welcome, Steve. And yes, you also had to be pretty tough physically to work as a silent comedian. Acrobatic experience preferred. :-)
My grandfather (born in 1906), used to have a saying, "What do you think this is, Fred Karno's army?" I never knew what he was refering to until I got access to the internet. Fred Karno was responsible for bringing Charlie Caplin and Stan Laurel to the US, and is credited with the 'pie throwing' slapstick routine.
Years ago, I lived in a medium size New Jersey town with an incompetent police force. One cop shot himself in the leg while pulling his pistol from its holster. Another rolled his police car onto its roof. And a third one was found, intoxicated, sleeping in a police car while on duty. We called them "our Keystone Kops".
Love 💕 the Keystone Cops. Have a wonderful blessed 4th of July to you and your family 🙏 ✝️🤗🥰 God bless America have you ever done a segment on the show Peter Gunn I watch it every day on antenna TV so I am very interested in what happened to the cast.
"Just a little amusement park." I had an aunt that thought Disney was crazy building an amusement park all the way down in Anaheim. After all, who would drive all the way down there in the middle of nowhere?
Too funny. My grandfather's 120 acre orange farm was what they wanted and Opa wouldn't sell. So they went to Anaheim and bought 11 smaller farms. Opa didn't think we needed any more parks. LOL. Back in the day.
My one complaint about Forest Lawn , Glendale is, they are restrictive about visiting certain areas and even open areas. My Dad, Mom , Aunt and Uncle are interred in the Freedom Masoleum. I have gone to visit and have been stopped and asked what I'm doing there. If they would open some areas of entertainers that we all enjoyed watching on TV and movies, it would give. FL and far more positive outlook...just my gripe..
If you believe that the FM is a bother policing-wise...I own property w/i the Great Mausoleum. Nowadays one would think that Homeland Security is handling the overseeing for protection there, as though one were about to set foot in Fort Knox. Just this side and short of a strip-search, you have to gain admittance by ringing the guard (who's stationed @ another entrance, the area the public may view) via a button on an intercom, then the personnel needs to know *who* you are visiting and then they need to look it up in their records for official verification before they'll unlock to door to let you in! (And, of course, there's the cameras to make certain that the visit is legitimate and don't linger/loiter too long, either.) I've never had a problem @ the Freedom Mausoleum, though, and I happen to have a relative interred there as well.
Having watched your wonderful video-you mentioned the last Keystone Cop dying in 1971. My grandfather, a keystone cop died in 1990. I wonder if my grandfather was the last one?
@@TheGraveyardChannel Julius Jack Morris. Sometimes he went by Jack Maurice. He was definitely the youngest of the three stooges. As best as I can tell, he may have started around 16. He did many of their most dangerous stunts. He ended up primarily being a stuntman for Chaplin, Fairbanks Sr. and others. People knew him best as “The Human Fly.” He’s buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I was 9 years old. I spent every weekend with him growing up. I was so close to him, that I refused to go to his funeral when he died suddenly of a heart attack. I have never been to his grave, but planned on doing it in the next few months.
Although I wasn’t a big fan of the Keystone Kops, my Son absolutely loved them. I will laugh at some parts if I happen upon one of them on the TV or on TH-cam. When my kid and his friends were young, I swear that they used to channel the Keystone Kops! They did some of the dumbest things and after having the all the boys help us move ONE time, it was like watching a scene from one of their shows. There is a question I’ve always wanted to ask. Why is the Great Mausoleum in Forest Lawn Memorial Park closed to the public? God Bless
LOL, sounds like that would be fun to see Nancy! Yeah that’s a good question that everyone always asks. I sure wish I knew the answer. My guess is that they just get thousands and thousands of tombstone tourists and one or two high profile people interred there probably insisted that they lock the doors to the public. It’s usually one or two people who ruin it for everyone else. ☹️
Though not a regular, Fatty Arbuckle did appear as a Keystone Kop. Charlie Chaplin made one appearance as a Keystone Kop in 1914 in a short called A Thief Catcher. It was lost for many years, but was found in Michigan in 2010.
If I remember correctly Roscoe Arbuckle, AKA Fatty was a Key Stone Cop, not sure. Poor guy was destroyed in Hollywood by false rape accusations, may he now enjoy paradise in Gods Kingdom. I loved their short films the Cops, thanks for bringing this story forward. We have had terrible heat here in BC, a town called Lytton was totally destroyed by fire, temperature was at 49 Celsius. Have a great weekend Steve and Jim!
Yes, he was one of the many actors who are Keystone cops at least for a few films. He was definitely one of the bigger names. We are used to the heat down here, but I’m sure it must be pretty awful for you guys up there who are used to it. Sorry to hear about the fires and I hope it cools down soon for you Dan! 👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel Thanks for the good wishes weather wise, Vancouver had 486 lives lost due to heat in one day, mostly elderly folk. We live on the 15th floor on a corner so there is almost always a cross breeze. It was the Interior of the province that got hit the worse.
Good update on Keystone Cops except for one thing. Chester Moorten born in 1905 could not possibly have been an original Keystone Cop. They first appeared in 1912.
Chester Clifford Moorten: born Jan. 17, 1905, Tacoma, WA; died Dec. 27, 1980, Palm Springs, age 75. One of Auntie's very first roles was when she was @ the age of three (early 1935), appearing as an audience member of a circus scene where the cross-eyed comedian Ben Turpin was a performer. Robert Z. Leonard directed the Jeanette MacDonald - Nelson Eddy vehicle "Maytime" (1937) which Auntie a a bit part as well. H4E's online lists Charles Avery's grave location site as thus: COLM-COLSW/#/P, being the lower level south wall; and the GPS is 34.090056, -118.320861 (that one might be a tad off). He may be under the name of Charles Avery Bradford.
Hi Craig, thank you so much for that update on his birth and death information. I hope you can get find a grave to make the correction. And I just love all the stories about your aunt Gloria. She must’ve had so much fun and had so many amazing stories to tell. Awesome! 😊👍
My brother lives there and I was there earlier this year. I was just there for one afternoon but I did share a video from my visit. If you search on my channel you can find it. I’m sure I will be back in the not too distant future to do more. Thanks Herbert! 😊👍
Great video Steve very very interesting stuff that I didn’t know , is interesting that in the USA once you buy a grave it is yours for ever not so in parts of Europe like Italy were it last for 30 years and after that a family member needs to pay to keep you there for another 30 years! And I think you can be extended maybe for another 30 or less and that’s it no more after that 😔 That’s not cool ! Is much better in the USA !
🤣😂 O just a "little" amusement park called Disneyland ... Love ur tours & always learn somethin new ! 🗝 stone👮♂️'z Omg ... Clark's Father is so freakin HOT 🔥 ! Whoo ... need a dip in ur pool now Steve ... lol My mom's folks r buried in Holy Cross Cemetary Thx for another fun & amazing tour Steve ... keep those tootsies cool in the pool !
iwanted to know about the guest stars before they had a tv series ? also robert stack and his partners on the un touchhables also the narrator was making trouble for desi& lucy !
Would you have any information on Kenneth Lundy. He would be an Uncle. We were told he too was a Keystone Cop. Ken was a very tall and thin man from Michigan. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Deborah Day-Lundy (FB)
Anyone that dedicates an episode to the Keystone Cops is #1 in my book. Love your channel and your dedication to the golden age of Hollywood!
Thanks Stephen, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it! 😊👍
Hey Steve, just happy to be alive to watch your show. Last Friday, while working at Walmart, I was rushed by ambulance as I had a brain tumor in my frontal lobe. Luckily I was at work when I seized. Your show helped me get through the hospital stay. And the tumor was benign. Thanks for all you do. I enjoy your show. Your Friend Jeff Judd
Love the Keystone Cops and after 100 years they're still funny to watch.
Hi Steve 🙋♂️! Oh m'gosh that is so cool about Cactus Slim's life after movies, and his lookalike 💕 son Clark! Love the KSC, Mack Sennet 👮♂️👮♂️ Trivia 😂😉 cheers 🐦🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it Debsza! 😊👍
Clark seems like a nice guy. I am always heartened when owners of famous sites come out, happy and enthusiastic to see you. All too often they're usually more inclined to run us off.
Everyone there named "Slim?"
Have a GREAT weekend Steve!!
I Anthony, I know I was very pleasantly surprised too! And I was wondering the same thing. Slim must’ve been a very popular nickname back in the day. I think there are a few fatty‘s to, like Patti Arbuckle. They weren’t as politically correct back then! 😊
"Cactus Slim" may have been a Keystone Kop, but it sounds like a good name for a Western star as well.
Oh wow I just remembered my grandparents having reels of film of the keystone cops. Every Sunday night grandpa would set up grandma would hang a white sheet up and we would watch for hours. Thank you Steve for jotting a long ago memory of my childhood.
Wow, thank you for sharing that fun memory with us Dorothea! 😊👍
And I'll bet those reels of film would be priceless now.
One day after Canada Day,and you post a video of Quebec born Mack Sennett! I'm always amazed by how many of my fellow Canadians wind up in the entertainment industry. The silent movie era was fascinating. Thanks again Steve.
Thanks for mentioning that Hans! 😊👍
Happy Canada Day Hans. From another Canadian fan. Happy Independence Day Steve.
The Keystone Cops will always hold a special place in my heart. I would watch the reruns with my great grandma as a little girl in the 7os. I can't believe I'm just seeing this video. Thanks for the special memories of my GG Barrett 💖
Jordan and Steve the Starsky and Hutch of Vloggers. Thanks Steve good job.

About 1974 my dad got 16 mm projector Memories of watching it with my dad when he 1st got it Film came with the projector
WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
Good subject.
Glad you enjoyed it Arlene!
Slim Sumerville was also in a movie with Shirley Temple Guy Kibbee and Buddy Ebsen in Captain January
My grandfather was a keystone cop. I would love to take you to where he is buried!
That is awesome Jeremy! Is he buried here in southern California?
I have all of the Three Stooges and Laurel & Hardy films on DVD and the Keystone cops are still funny today.
My grandfather (born in 1906), used to have a saying, "What do you think this is, Fred Karno's army?" I never knew what he was refering to until I got access to the internet. Fred Karno was responsible for bringing Charlie Caplin and Stan Laurel to the US, and is credited with the 'pie throwing' slapstick routine.
Thanks for sharing this fun trivia with us quicksilver! 😊👍
Years ago, I lived in a medium size New Jersey town with an incompetent police force. One cop shot himself in the leg while pulling his pistol from its holster. Another rolled his police car onto its roof. And a third one was found, intoxicated, sleeping in a police car while on duty. We called them "our Keystone Kops".
Lol, that’s funny but also a little scary Raymond! 😳😂
Slim had great role in The Big Parade
Love 💕 the Keystone Cops. Have a wonderful blessed 4th of July to you and your family 🙏 ✝️🤗🥰 God bless America have you ever done a segment on the show Peter Gunn I watch it every day on antenna TV so I am very interested in what happened to the cast.
No, not yet. Thanks for the suggestion. And the same to you and your family! 🎆😊👍
"Just a little amusement park." I had an aunt that thought Disney was crazy building an amusement park all the way down in Anaheim. After all, who would drive all the way down there in the middle of nowhere?
Lol, I don’t think your aunt was alone, Bill 😂👍
Too funny. My grandfather's 120 acre orange farm was what they wanted and Opa wouldn't sell. So they went to Anaheim and bought 11 smaller farms. Opa didn't think we needed any more parks. LOL. Back in the day.
My one complaint about Forest Lawn , Glendale is, they are restrictive about visiting certain areas and even open areas. My Dad, Mom , Aunt and Uncle are interred in the Freedom Masoleum. I have gone to visit and have been stopped and asked what I'm doing there. If they would open some areas of entertainers that we all enjoyed watching on TV and movies, it would give. FL and far more positive outlook...just my gripe..
If you believe that the FM is a bother policing-wise...I own property w/i the Great Mausoleum. Nowadays one would think that Homeland Security is handling the overseeing for protection there, as though one were about to set foot in Fort Knox. Just this side and short of a strip-search, you have to gain admittance by ringing the guard (who's stationed @ another entrance, the area the public may view) via a button on an intercom, then the personnel needs to know *who* you are visiting and then they need to look it up in their records for official verification before they'll unlock to door to let you in! (And, of course, there's the cameras to make certain that the visit is legitimate and don't linger/loiter too long, either.) I've never had a problem @ the Freedom Mausoleum, though, and I happen to have a relative interred there as well.
I agree Jack!
It’s really kind of sad. Thanks for sharing with us Craig!
Having watched your wonderful video-you mentioned the last Keystone Cop dying in 1971. My grandfather, a keystone cop died in 1990. I wonder if my grandfather was the last one?
That would be interesting to know Jeremy. What is his name?
@@TheGraveyardChannel Julius Jack Morris. Sometimes he went by Jack Maurice. He was definitely the youngest of the three stooges. As best as I can tell, he may have started around 16. He did many of their most dangerous stunts. He ended up primarily being a stuntman for Chaplin, Fairbanks Sr. and others. People knew him best as “The Human Fly.” He’s buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I was 9 years old. I spent every weekend with him growing up. I was so close to him, that I refused to go to his funeral when he died suddenly of a heart attack. I have never been to his grave, but planned on doing it in the next few months.
Loved the keystone Cops . Silent films as really good. They had to depend on acting ability rather than a voice. 🌞 Have an awesome weekend Steve. 🙏
Thanks Joanne and you too! 😊👍
Nice
Although I wasn’t a big fan of the Keystone Kops, my Son absolutely loved them. I will laugh at some parts if I happen upon one of them on the TV or on TH-cam. When my kid and his friends were young, I swear that they used to channel the Keystone Kops! They did some of the dumbest things and after having the all the boys help us move ONE time, it was like watching a scene from one of their shows.
There is a question I’ve always wanted to ask. Why is the Great Mausoleum in Forest Lawn Memorial Park closed to the public? God Bless
LOL, sounds like that would be fun to see Nancy! Yeah that’s a good question that everyone always asks. I sure wish I knew the answer. My guess is that they just get thousands and thousands of tombstone tourists and one or two high profile people interred there probably insisted that they lock the doors to the public. It’s usually one or two people who ruin it for everyone else. ☹️
Though not a regular, Fatty Arbuckle did appear as a Keystone Kop. Charlie Chaplin made one appearance as a Keystone Kop in 1914 in a short called A Thief Catcher. It was lost for many years, but was found in Michigan in 2010.
Thank you for sharing this with us Mrheadbanger. Sounds like you are a real fan! 😊👍
If I remember correctly Roscoe Arbuckle, AKA Fatty was a Key Stone Cop, not sure. Poor guy was destroyed in Hollywood by false rape accusations, may he now enjoy paradise in Gods Kingdom. I loved their short films the Cops, thanks for bringing this story forward. We have had terrible heat here in BC, a town called Lytton was totally destroyed by fire, temperature was at 49 Celsius. Have a great weekend Steve and Jim!
Yes, he was one of the many actors who are Keystone cops at least for a few films. He was definitely one of the bigger names. We are used to the heat down here, but I’m sure it must be pretty awful for you guys up there who are used to it. Sorry to hear about the fires and I hope it cools down soon for you Dan! 👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel Thanks for the good wishes weather wise, Vancouver had 486 lives lost due to heat in one day, mostly elderly folk. We live on the 15th floor on a corner so there is almost always a cross breeze. It was the Interior of the province that got hit the worse.
I can’t find any information about Keystone cops actor Andy Cline. I couldn’t even find him in IMDb. Do you have any info on him?
No I don’t
Al "Fuzzy" St. John who appeared in dozens of westerns also appeared as a Keystone Cop.
Thanks For mentioning him Thom! 😊👍
Good update on Keystone Cops except for one thing. Chester Moorten born in 1905 could not possibly have been an original Keystone Cop. They first appeared in 1912.
Hey Steve me linda lost my old acct could t remember password lol so glad I found u
Welcome back Linda!
Chester Clifford Moorten: born Jan. 17, 1905, Tacoma, WA; died Dec. 27, 1980, Palm Springs, age 75. One of Auntie's very first roles was when she was @ the age of three (early 1935), appearing as an audience member of a circus scene where the cross-eyed comedian Ben Turpin was a performer. Robert Z. Leonard directed the Jeanette MacDonald - Nelson Eddy vehicle "Maytime" (1937) which Auntie a a bit part as well. H4E's online lists Charles Avery's grave location site as thus: COLM-COLSW/#/P, being the lower level south wall; and the GPS is 34.090056, -118.320861 (that one might be a tad off). He may be under the name of Charles Avery Bradford.
Hi Craig, thank you so much for that update on his birth and death information. I hope you can get find a grave to make the correction. And I just love all the stories about your aunt Gloria. She must’ve had so much fun and had so many amazing stories to tell. Awesome! 😊👍
Hey steve do you ever go to Sacramento California
My brother lives there and I was there earlier this year. I was just there for one afternoon but I did share a video from my visit. If you search on my channel you can find it. I’m sure I will be back in the not too distant future to do more. Thanks Herbert! 😊👍
One thing to remember about the Keystone Cops is that they did all their own stunts regardless of the danger factor. They were real troupers!
Great video Steve very very interesting stuff that I didn’t know , is interesting that in the USA once you buy a grave it is yours for ever not so in parts of Europe like Italy were it last for 30 years and after that a family member needs to pay to keep you there for another 30 years! And I think you can be extended maybe for another 30 or less and that’s it no more after that 😔 That’s not cool ! Is much better in the USA !
Hi CMK, that just seems so bizarre to me that in some other parts of the world you just rent a space for a few decades, omg 😳
@@TheGraveyardChannel yep is disgraceful !
How did you get in to see Bogart's niche? It was locked the last time I was there.
The gates just happened to be open that day.
CAN YOU FIND TEENA MARIE GRAVE THE SINGER....

Steve, I responded to your question below.
6dt..! Hey Steve .. :)
Hi Rex ✋
Why was Chester Moorten called “ Cactus Slim”?
I he was famous for being very skinny and then he became famous here in Palm Springs for his cactus garden.
iam interested of the cast of the untouchables with robert stack ?
iwanted to know about the guest stars before they had a tv series ? also robert stack and his partners on the un touchhables also the narrator was making trouble for desi& lucy !
Would you have any information on Kenneth Lundy. He would be an Uncle. We were told he too was a Keystone Cop. Ken was a very tall and thin man from Michigan. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Deborah Day-Lundy (FB)
Imagine getting hired because you have a funny moustache or cross-eyes !
Lol, I know, right?! Things have certainly changed over time 😂👍
Mack ate raw onions and fields said if you could stand his breath up close you usually got hired
Hi Steve
How's Retirement going
Great Rhonda! Thank you for asking 😊👍
