Trivia

There are two references in the Roman section a - one classical and one biblical. The classical reference is to the story of Androcles and the lion (when Keaton is in the dungeon) and the biblical one is to Samson bringing down the temple upon himself and his enemies (when Keaton collapses Beery's house).
