He served with a number of prominent stock companies in different parts of the States, and soon took leading parts. He had his little "go" at vaudeville, too, touring with a sketch entitled "Mephisto," with E. W. Hoyt. "I like the pictures best, tho," he said. "I was never very stuck on studying up three to six parts a week and playing one-night stands, even with bigger engagements in between. I get all the variety I want playing for the screen, and I have bigger audiences and larger opportunities. Yes, I like it much and hope to get right to the top and stay there." Mr. Lockwood (my! it seems so funny to say Mr. when writing of this boyish man) told me lots of interesting things about his work in Motion Pictures. His first experience was with the Nestor Company, and his first director was E. S. Porter, who was instrumental in getting him into the Famous Players, where he now is. He took leading parts, but often had to "double," as did every one in the cast. The actors assisted in getting the scenes placed, and one of the directors was quite a good scenepainter. He then joined the New York Motion Picture Company at beautiful Santa Monica and was with them for some months, when he left to go with the Selig Company. Then along came Mr. Porter, with delightful little Mary Pickford, and Harold and she made a perfect pair in "Hearts Adrift " and "Tess of the Storm County." He is now working under Allan Dwan, at the New York studios of the Famous Players, and has just acted in "Wild Flower," opposite Marguerite Clark. Harold (I must call him Harold; nothing else seems just right) asked me to have an ice-cream soda, and I did, and he told me all about his ambitions. He is so earnest and so jolly, at the same time, that I am just sure that he is going to get all he wants, for he is already one of the most popular young men on the screen.
