Girl Shy (1924) with Harold Lloyd
Live organ accompaniment by Jay Warren
Plus Harold Lloyd in Back Into the Woods
Harold Lloyd plays Harold Meadows, who is woefully shy around women.
Surprisingly, he is writing a book, "The Secret of Love Making," and
while on a train to the publisher's office, he meets an incredibly
pretty Mary Buckingham (Jobyna Ralston). Although she is engaged, Mary
can't forget Harold, and he in turn can't forget her. His affections
for her grow, and when he discovers that Mary's suitor is a bigamist,
it's a race to the rescue in one of the most breathtaking chase
sequences in silent film.
