Before they were known as Harry Potter glasses, they were Harold Lloyd glasses. Apparently, Harold popped out the lenses on sunglasses to create his "glasses" character. Safety last has the iconic clock scene as Lloyd is climbing to the top of the building. It was filmed in 1923. A side note, the Harold Lloyd glasses were popular in 20s Japan with the "modern boy" known as mobo.

Lucia Lynn Moses in Scar of Shame (1927). This is an early race movie that has an entirely black cast and was made for a black audience. Unfortunately, the company went out of business after this film, which proved to be Lucia Lynn Moses only roll. (Her sister was in a few more movies). I tried to capture the idea in the film in the conflict between higher and lower classes.

Such fantasic cards, pancake machine! Thanks so much for sharing!!
