Larry Semon -- Zigoto -- November 1, 2021

Moving Picture World, 26-November-1921

100 years ago, Larry Semon was popular in the United States, but he was equally popular in many other countries. Those countries usually identified him by a single name. In France, Larry was Zigoto. In Italy, he was Ridolini. In the 1920s, Spanish-speaking audiences called him Jaimito. When the Spanish versions were rereleased in 1940, he was called Tomasín.
