You seo Harold knew what he was doing when he parted with some of that which be has sn ved so carefully against a rainy day. Others of oiir famous stars are paid to be financially interested In several of these film producing companies. Naturally, the quickies that Harold Dloyd (m interested In nre not the fly-by night variety that uses expensive talent for a single week.
