Harold Lloyd at Page Little more than a year a so Harold Lloyd made his first appearance in a photoplay comedy o( two-reel length. It was "Humping Into Broadway." and so unanimous was the praise of the critics and the public, that this picture- placed the be-goggled comedian in first class and a dnnKerotia contender for honor place. Now Harold Lloyd Is hailed as the screen's greatest 'comedian. He has won praise that no other laugh-maker has received his fun has never had the word vulgar applied to It. Friends that others have failed to make, Har old Lloyd has easily won with his clean, wholesome Inimor. . "Now or Never," Harold Lloyd's neweat photoplay, marks a new epoch in the young man's interesting career. Also, It is a three-reel comedy. Three reels does not mean that the laughs are spread farther apart, but that there Is more room Into which to crowd them. The Page theatre considers that it is doing a great public good In present ing "Now or Never" on Its screen to day, tomorrow and Monday, for every laugh at Lloyd makes health and hap piness, and it would take a funometer to record the laughs in "Now or Never."
