PINCHED (1917) - Harold Lloyd

So.... this is the 2nd Harold Lloyd "glasses" character film.
I've reconstructed this primarily from a 9.5mm film, along with a version from an old TV show.
Both versions had their own unique footage, which meant a lot of comparing, cutting and re-ordering. Thanks to John Benson for his help with this one.
Enjoy!
(this is the upgraded version which includes some digital restoration on the 9.5 footage and a little extra found footage).

I'm discovering the career of Harold Lloyd and his numerous films. It seem very very talented creative innovate and funny in comparison with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Beaton. He created his own character and it's work. A beautiful surprise for me .

I may be mistaken but does anyone think there are actually lenses in Harold's glasses? In the early scene where Harold is robbed it looks like it.

[@josephcalderon906]

+saz710 His glass were lenseless,until professor beware.when he did wore glasses with lenses.

[@saz710]

@@josephcalderon906 Thank you for your reply. I know that is true but I was just wondering whether there may have been lenses in the glasses in this early short.
