WOW! A few days ago i was watching the Buster Keaton Shorts Collection 1917-1923 and on the disc there is a extra of Serge Bromberg talking about how the Keaton shorts were put together from other sources. He should have known better to make sure the prints were stored under safe conditions and temperature.
