HAROLD’S START
LLOYD BECOMES ACTOR Is there such a thing’*as a luck coin! Skeptics will immediately say “No! ” But Harold Lloyd, star comedian of Paramount, thinks otherwise. The stage had appealed to Harold, but to his father’s min'd the cinema seemed the logical place for him. They talked it over but failed to come to a logical conclusion and finally it was decided to do whatever was designated by the flip of a coin. The father took heads for Los Angles and won. So they went to Los Angeles. He made-up like a screen comedian and mingled among the extras. In this way he managed to get inside the studio gates and obtained work in the picture. “Samson and Delilah.” One day he had a part in a comedy and actually stole the part from the star. Thus he got his start as a comedian.
