busterness: Behind the scenes shot from “Baby Cyclone” (1928 - MGM), starring Lew Cody.  Buster was supposedly wandering around the MGM lot when he spied a stunt double for Lew Cody trying to fall down a staircase.  The director wasn’t pleased with the performance, so Buster jumped into a costume and did the fall while hiding his face.  For his trouble and goodwill, Buster got an ass-chewing from Louis B. Mayer and a stuntman’s check for $7.50.  He never cashed it.  It was framed and hanging on his wall until he died.
