Who's Who on the Screen HAL ROACH Hal Roach, Harold Lloyd's whirlwind director, was born in Elmira, N. Y., in 1892, and has been on the jump ever since. While attending the Eltaira Academy Mr. Roach went in most strenuously for athletics and was one of the best football players that that institution ever turned out. In 1913 he worked with Universal as an actor and that marked his first experiences in the silent drama. The following;year he organized his own company with Harold Lloyd as the star and has been directing that versatile comedian's doings on the screen ever since. Recently the Hal Roach studios were erected on the coast at a cost of more than $100,000. 381
