Lloyd Hamilton's worked in pictures from 1913-1934, and his string of successful solo comedies for Educational are sought-after by classic comedy fans. While most of these are lost films, 16mm prints made for the home market have been turning up in private collections over the last couple of decades. note: a "Jonah" is a old expression for someone who is a jinx or whom brings bad luck wherever they go.
