 SPOILER: The rumor has been widely circulated that  Buster Keaton (qv) was much funnier than Charles Chaplin (qv) in  their scene together, so Chaplin cut Keatons best scenes. In her  book "Buster Keaton Remembered", Keatons widow  Eleanor Keaton (qv) refutes this story; according to her, the  rumor was started by Raymond Rohauer (qv), Keatons business  partner. The point of the scene was to show Chaplin as Calvero  having one final triumph before he has a heart attack and dies. It  would not have made sense for Keaton, who was not even a major  character in the movie, to outshine Chaplin.
