The Harold Lloyd Encyclopedia

Harold Lloyd, born in 1893, became one of the greatest comic actors in America. This is a compendium of all things Lloyd, with entries on noteworthy persons, recurring themes, crucial elements of Lloyd's life (birth, education, marriage, family, hobbies, death, etc.), his prime co-stars and co-workers, the films that made him a legend (201 of them), and numerous other topics covering every facet of the man and the actor, all fully cross-referenced and accompanied by a vast collection of images and advertisements. Lacking the vaudeville training of his chief contemporaries, Lloyd nonetheless grew quickly from a gag technician to a skilled actor. In 1917, he created his famed Glass Character, but a live bomb amongst the props maimed his hand two years later. Keeping his handicap hidden by use of a revolutionary prosthetic, he continued to both charm and enthrall audiences. The action may be outlandish, he said of himself, but the characters--most particularly the central character--must not be. An Appendix A lists the Lloyd shorts in the order produced, with the Production Code assigned by the Rolin Film Company officials. Appendix B is a proper filmography, listing each Lloyd film from 1913 to 1966 in chronological order.

Harold F. Silver

Western Inventor, Businessman, and Civic Leader

Inventors such as Harold Farnes Silver can be counted among the few souls who reshape their time and place. Silver belongs in the company of such figures as Cyrus McCormick and fellow Utah natives John Moses Browning and Philo Farnsworth, for he created machines that transformed whole industries. An entrepreneur as well, he built corporations on the foundation of his inventions. He then shared his success and business acumen through civic service that strengthened the communities with which he was affiliated, especially Denver, Colorado, where he made his home. During World War II, as owner of a still fledgling business, he piloted the effort that brought inland shipyards hundreds of miles from the ocean to the city by the Rocky Mountains. As a philanthropist and as an organizer or participant in countless causes and business organizations, he left a rare legacy of public service through private means in Denver and elsewhere. Mastery of mechanical invention made Harold Silver's business and civic achievements possible. He was born into a family of mechanical engineers, craftsmen in iron and steel. Their trade was with mines, smelters, farms, and food factories, businesses whose products were the mainstays of the western economy. Sugar, from sugar beets, and coal were among the most important of those products. In the twentieth century new technology continued to alter farms and mines, but as midcentury approached, coal mines and sugar factories still employed many antiquated labor-intensive methods. Mechanization, chemistry, and automation had only begun to redefine the nature of work and production in these industries. Harold Silver had an unequaled role in creating the machinery that accelerated that process. He invented new means of receiving and processing sugar beets and extracting sugar from them, dramatically reducing labor needs and increasing production capabilities. Having revolutionized the sugar beet business, he then created a new way of obtaining sugar from its other major source, sugar cane. His influence on coal mining was perhaps even more important, earning him a place among America's greatest inventors. Silver's continuous coal miner, a teethed monster of a machine, tore out coal by the wall, moved it from the mining face, and loaded it for transport to the surface. It replaced back-breaking hand labor by miners, integrated the various tasks of several less-efficient machines, and made coal mining safer, less expensive, and more productive. Harold Silver faced a fair share of controversy and hardship along his road to achievement and success. From his youth in Salt Lake City as part of a polygamous and broken Mormon family to his own permanent break with his youngest son, episodes of personal tragedy as well as joy and public accomplishment shaped a life that has received insufficient notice.

Harold Pinter

Michael Billington's engrossing biography examines Pinter's work in the context of his life. Through extended conversations with Pinter and interviews with his friends and colleagues, Billington creates a portrait of the man as well as the artist, from Pinter's Hackney childhood to his Nobel Prize, discussing his writing for stage and screen, as well as his fiction and poetry, his acting and directing, his political activity, his friendships, his two marriages and his passion for cricket. He emerges as a man of infinite complexity whose imaginative world is shaped by his private character. This new edition includes a full transcript of the Nobel lecture, as well as an additional chapter written in the aftermath of Harold Pinter's death in December 2008. 'The foremost representative of British drama in the second half of the twentieth century.' The Swedish Academy citation on awarding Harold Pinter the Nobel Prize for Literature, 2005 'Enthralling... An open-sesame into Pinter's work... A valuable book. And absorbing: I found it virtually unputdownable.' Financial Times 'No reader of this book will doubt that its subject is a man of the highest artistic stature.' Sunday Telegraph

Harold Wellman

A Man who Moved New Zealand

This biography of a pioneering geologist represents a major contribution to the history of science in New Zealand. Best known for his discovery of the Alpine Fault on the South Island, Harold Wellman began his career in the 1930s with no formal academic training and based his work on observations of gold and coal mining, oil drilling, geophysics, and neotectonics. The first section of the book is an edited version of a memoir Wellmen wrote in his 80s, after which the biography proper takes up the saga of this iconoclast turned icon whose curiosity and aversion to preconceived ideas made him a revered mentor to many young scientists.

This is the story of the daughter of a survivor of the Holocaust. It is a simple but exquisite retelling of the first twenty two years of her life.

Ahn E. Sook stood alone among thousands of kneeling people. Her bold defiance of the tyrannical demand to bow to pagan Japanese shrines condemned her to a living death in the filth and degradation of a Japanese prison. This brave woman remained faithful to Christ in the face of brutality, oppression, and ruthlessness of her captors. The story of how she won many of her fellow prisoners to Christ in the most deplorable conditions is an inspiration to all.

I'm Not What I Seem

The many stories of Rita MacNeil's life

Rita MacNeil has long been recognized as one of the East Coast's great singer-songwriters. As a young girl with the dream of becoming a singer, she overcame a series of seemingly insurmountable obstacles and achieved success by believing in herself and refusing to give up. A trailblazer, Rita played an integral role in the women's movement in Canada and forged a path that was unique to her, paving the way for future generations of east coast musicians. Charlie Rhindress first came to know Rita as he collaborated with her on his play Flying on Her Own, incorporating more than twenty of her songs into a script that told the story of her life. For this new biography, Rhindress did extensive research and interviewed many of the people who worked with her and knew her best. The story of a strong, sensitive, complex woman emerged and the result is a powerful and moving portrait of a unique woman and important artist of her times.

Rita wrote the song “Fast Train to Tokyo” about this experience. The song
includes the lyrics, “The night you sang in that karaoke bar, the words were new,
but not the heart...we shared a moment through your song.” “Fast Train to Tokyo”
