movie world

A terrific silent film featuring the many talents of one of the greatest comedians of the time.
Lloyd plays Harold Lamb, a bespectacled go-getter who heads off to college thinking his experiences will be just like the ones he saw in a college-based movie. He even learns a little jig that he saw in the picture, imagining that it will make him one of the more popular guys on campus. Unfortunately, reality intrudes, and Harold finds himself being laughed at by the other students. He decides to re-invent himself yet again, by trying out for the football team. But he evolves into more of a tackling dummy than a real player. Luckily, he gets a chance to set things straight, and even win the affection of the girl he loves (Jobyna Ralston), by starring in a climactic game that was partially filmed during a real contest at Pasadena's Rose Bowl.
