Larry Semon -- His First Feature Length Picture a Drawing Card -- July 2, 2024

Exhibitors Herald, 26-July-1924

Like his contemporary Lloyd Hamilton, Larry Semon was trying to move into feature productions. The Girl in the Limousine was based on a play by Wilson Collison and Avery Hopwood. Larry Semon and Noel Smith directed. First National was going to release the film.

"The password to weeks of big business." That tag-line proved to be over-optimistic.

The play The Girl in the Limousine was a bedroom farce. Co-author Wilson Collison also wrote Up in Mabel's Room, another bedroom farce.
