Long Pants (1926) -
Hal Roach recruited the athletic Glenn Tryon to take over for Harold Lloyd as the company's spunky young collegiate lead when Lloyd moved from short comedies to feature films. He starred in dozens of comedies for Roach, among them Long Pants, playing a naïve young man who unknowingly brings a worldly, "loose" woman home to meet his parents. Tryon later starred in the famous early silent/sound film hybrid Lonesome (1928) and the early backstage musical Broadway (1929), both directed by the inventive Paul Fejos, before moving behind the camera as a director, screenwriter, and producer during the sound era.
