An amusing bit of tangled confusion with Harold Lloyd in "The Freshman" (1925). For me, the great mystery is how Rosalind Byrne & her perfect flapper look, never became a bigger star..after memorable bits with Lloyd, Keaton and Langdon, she fizzled out, but married happily in 1932 and retired to the Chicago suburbs.
