Moving Picture World, 19-July-1919

100 years ago this month, in July, 1919, Harold Lloyd appears to be distracted in this scene from "At the Old Stage Door." Snub Pollard and leading lady Bebe Daniels appear to be unhappy.

Because Harold was wearing a top hat, "He is mistaken for the manager and treated royally, but later the deception is discovered, and he is hustled out in the rain."

Harold is in danger of catching flies.

Harold helps Bebe take aim in "Billy Blazes, Esq."

"This is a good burlesque."

"It is full of rapid, snappy action, and while it is a broad burlesque, still it some of the real thrill of the 'wild and wooly' border story."

We saw last month that  Bebe Daniels, Harold's leading lady since 1915, had signed to appear in features produced by Cecil B DeMille.

"She has just completed a comedy series with Harold Lloyd and Harry Pollard."  Only 18 years old, Bebe is rightly described as "ingenue and comedienne."
