Ring Up the Curtain

Harold Lloyd finds Bebe's snake in Ring Up the Curtain

Ring Up the Curtain (1919) starring Harold Lloyd, Bebe Daniels, ‘Snub’ Pollard

Ring Up the Curtain is an early, silent, Harold Lloyd comedy, where he becomes the impromptu stage manager for a small theater. He has to deal with his boss (Bud Jamison), the acting troupe coming to perform with the lovely Bebe Daniels and antagonist Snub Pollard. And Bebe’s snake escapes!

Harold Lloyd’s “glasses” character tends bar at an opera house where a traveling performance company is due to perform. The show must go on if the curtains can’t go up.
