Harold Lloyd,
Once, I thought this was a half sheet but found out it was a newspaper insert.
Think Speedy was his last silent film. Not certain.
The other item is a hand fan (handle missing) for theater patrons before the days of AC.
Amazing the things one finds in scrapbooks.
Wow thanks Thomas! I really don't know much on motion picture memorabilia but I knew right away this was special and worth conservation.
I like Harold Llyod-- great group of items!
The scene of him hanging from a building clock stories above the street was my favorite as a kid.

Think I read he did all his own stunts, which look very dangerous some of them, e.g. the one you mentioned.
Thanks Scott!
Oh yes. Harold did ALL his own stunts until he lost part of his hand. I collect a LOT of ephemera! I love it. Speedy was in 1928, his first film was in 1913! He had 214 film credits! Mind you, a lot of the silents were only 15 or so minutes long. He was a fascinating guy.
