Lonesome Luke Comedies Were Good as One Reelers: They Are Great in Two Reels -- March 31, 2017

Moving Picture World, 03-March-1917
Rolin was a company founded by Hal Roach and Dan Linthicum. Harold Lloyd was their first comedy star. Bebe Daniels was their cute leading lady and Snub Pollard was Snub Pollard.

Two reel comedies were more prestigious than one reelers.  They also cost more than twice as much and took more than twice as long to produce.  They were a bigger risk.
