Harold Lloyd as Director

Once Harold Lloyd was able to make the transition from 'Lonesome Luke' to the Harold Lloyd with glasses and a short hat, he began directing some of his own shorts in order to guide his career. As any director will tell you, acting and directing are impossible to do well at the same time, and so therefore, Lloyd handed over the directing to James Parrott so that he could concentrate on developing his screen personality.
