Crisp to Direct Keaton -- February 26, 2024

Film Daily, 25-February-1924

Buster Keaton hired Donald Crisp to direct his next film, The Navigator. Crisp is mostly remembered as an actor, but he directed a large number of silent films and one talkie.

Keaton's studio at 1025 Lillian Way was first used by Charlie Chaplin while he was making his Essanay films. Roscoe Arbuckle used it to make short comedies, and then turned it over to Buster Keaton. The site is currently marked by a plaque.
