From Bashful (1917) - Harold Lloyd, Bebe Daniels. A Hal Roach Production.

Harold is mimicking a hula dancer. Apparently, part of the hula dancer's moves were risque and had to be cut.

At first, I only knew him from "Phantom..." and "Hunchback..." but I eventually watched everything of his that I could find and he was so ridiculously good. So expressive and really manages to hit you right in the stomach at times. Excellent actor.

These are the latest pieces I’ve added since March! Enjoy!

Hi There

Lon Chaney the master of makeup 🎭

Is there a film of his that showcases his talent and his ability to transform into something great with his makeup?

There’s Hunchback of Notre Dame and Phantom but is there any others from his filmography that fit this?

Opening this package of lobby cards from Leonard Schrader’s archive was pretty jaw dropping!
