May 12th  
The Kid Brother***   

(US 1927)      
Paramount. 84m. bw. silent    

The weakling of three lumberjack brothers makes good when combating the strongman in a local touring theatre that has stolen his father's funds. 
Standard but innovative Lloyd vehicle, not quite as convincing as a story as previous efforts, but with touching moments, a full-blooded chase climax, and some strong production at the twilight of the silent era.

Producer: Harold Lloyd.
Director: Ted Wilde.
Starring: Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Walter James, Olin Francis, Leo Willis, Eddie Boland, Constantine Romanoff.
Photography: Walter Lundin.

Music Composer/Conductor: Carl Davis.

+ parts of the film were also directed by Lewis Milestone
