Seeing Stars is a 1922 black-and-white eight-minute one-reel "trailer" film notable for a scene shared by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Seeing Stars was one of just two times the great silent comedians appeared together onscreen; 30 years later, Limelight (1952) was the second occasion.In the film, Chaplin and his The Kid costar Jackie Coogan share a banquet table with Thomas Ince; Buster Keaton (as himself) plays a waiter who serves them. Keaton's sisters-in-law, Norma and Constance Talmadge, also appear on-screen.The film was produced by the Independent Screen Artists' Guild (headed by Chaplin and Norma Talmadge) and Associated First National Pictures, and was, for the most part, filmed at the Guild's December 15, 1921 inaugural banquet at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. A handful of shots are taken from other sources, such as a few frames of Keaton's The Balloonatic.
