 Early Harald Lloyd autograph on old Ross Photo. CoA - col6720
Lloyd left Hal Roach, and in 1924 Freshman (1925) established Harold as the top moneymaking comedian in the movies.
Though Lloyd would vary his "glasses" character from film to film -- a spoiled rich lad in one picture, a humble clerk in the next -- he never strayed far from the likeable boy-next-door that he'd established in his short subjects.
Lloyd and Roach began working their way towards feature films and Lloyd's first feature, Grandma's Boy (1922), set the tone for his subsequent films.

 Safety Last (1923)
Other Lloyd films that featured the same character included Girl Shy (1924), The Freshman (1925) - his most successful film, For Heaven's Sake (1926), and The Kid Brother (1927) - often considered his best film.
Safety Last (1923) earned Harold Lloyd, the bookish, horn-rimmed glasses, straw-hat-wearing comedian and Everyman hero, his nickname "the King of Daredevil Comedy." Lloyd's films of this period often included timeless gags, pathos, and clever visual elements.
This successful film is most remembered for its thrilling, hair-raising climax - a reckless, 'safety last,' humorous stunt on the side of a twelve-story skyscraper above busy city streets.
