Here's ten minutes of Skip E. Lowe interviewing Milton Berle. In it, Mr. Berle claims to have been the original model for Buster Brown for Buster Brown shoes, and to have played the newsboy opposite Charlie Chaplin in the movie, Tillie's Punctured Romance. Historians doubt both claims. (Berle also gets the Chaplin filmography wrong. Chaplin made The Rink and Easy Street after Tillie's Punctured Romance.) I've never heard anyone dispute Berle's claim to have been in silent pictures with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks but I wonder about them, too.
Anyway, this'll give you a little taste of what Skip E. Lowe did. He did an awful lot of these interviews…
