Thanks Chris for posting this and a link to Youtube. I like Harold Lloyd films and have a few on Standard 8mm. But I've not seen this one ... until now

Chris Absolutely great. I see that 10066 was a two-reel 60ft notched film. Did you remake the running titles, or did you film them as single frames?

Thanks for the responses gents. Clinton - as far as is known, this early Lloyd only survives on 9.5mm, which will be why it hasn't surfaced on the other gauges. There are still quite a few lost Lloyds from this era.
Maurice - I had the film scanned, and I freeze framed the notched titles using editing software on my computer. I scanned two different prints to put together a best overall copy. My second print has had the titles reshot as running titles by a previous owner - in one case I had to retain the remade title as the original notched one was missing from my first copy.
I compiled the score from the 1930s Chaplin Mutuals reissues, as these are public domain.

Very glad you liked it David. I know that like me you're a big fan of silent cinema. If you check out my youtube channel I have put up a few other rare 9.5mm silents that aren't available elsewhere:
