HAROLD LLOYD
CHANGES HIS MIND.
TO MAKE MORE COMEDIES. Thanks to Jerry and his nightly antics. says a London paper, Harold Lloyd. 7000 miles away in Hollywood, has been persuaded to go back on his original decision made some two years ago that his period of usefulness on the screen was at an end.
His last picture. "Professor Beware." was a big success, and the bespectacled comedian decided that then was the time to retire while he was still popular.
There were no financial worries attending this retirement, for Lloyd is
one of the richest men in the film business, and. although in the closing stages of his career he made only one film a year, he always maintained a full studio staff at top rate of pay. Just recently he has wandered back into the film business as a producer, working for R.K.O. studios, but it was not until the current demand for comedies as a result of the blitz that he began to toy with the idea of going out after the laughs again. He is already studying material for a two-picture schedule, and if everything goes well he will be facing up to the cameras again soon.
