Lloyd, Roach Terminate Business Relations -- July 7, 2023

Motion Picture News, 07-July-1923

100 years ago this month, Hal Roach and Harold Lloyd, who had worked together as producer and star, parted in an amicable fashion. Roach's roster of other film series had grown and Harold sometimes consumed half the space in the studio. The last Roach-Llloyd movie was Why Worry, which had not yet been released.

Once the arrangements for the split were complete, newlyweds Mildred Davis and Harold Lloyd took a belated honeymoon in New York City.

Harold moved his production company to the Hollywood Studios on Santa Monica Boulevard.

A new production company called Ritz-Carlton denied rumors that Harold had signed with them. Good way to get your company's name out there.
