full name: Harry Eugene Roach

This filmography attempts to include all of the films that Hal Roach worked on, including those not made by his studio.
It also attempts to include all of the films made by Hal E. Roach Studios, whether or not Roach himself was involved. The
filmography is nearly complete up through the mid 1940s, thanks mostly to Rob Stone, who let me utilize his impressive
list, and Richard Lewis Ward, who wrote A History Of The Hal Roach Studios, which includes an extensive
filmography. I've also received quite a lot of help from Joe Moore, who has filled in some gaps and provided
clarification for some of the information. The list below is the most complete that I've seen so far. It should be
noted, however, that the TV era (from the late '40s into the early '60s) is far from complete. For some
shows, I've been able to find a list of all the episodes, but not for others. Also, it isn't always clear whether
a show was actually made by Roach's company, or simply renting studio space. For the purposes of this filmography,
rental situations are not included, other than being briefly mentioned when known.
1913
Roach started as an extra with Universal in early 1913. He frequently appeared in westerns starring J.
Warren Kerrigan. It was during this period that he met Harold Lloyd. Realizing that his acting abilities were limited, he
began to take various non-acting assignments, and eventually served as assistant director on the Jeanie McPherson
series of shorts. Presumably, Roach didn't limit his options to Universal, and turned up at a number of other
studios.

- 1913 - Universal
- Roach advised on how the game of roulette was played, so as to make it realistic in the film. He remembered this as
his first film.
1914
Roach continued to work as an extra for Universal and other studios, as well as occasional work behind the
cameras. On July 23rd, he formed Rolin Film Company with partner Dan Linthicum (combining their names to form the
company name), and a third partner, I. H. Nance, who was replaced on Aug. 17th by Dwight Whiting. Roach was elected
president of the company. They hired Harold Lloyd to play the lead in the one-reel Willie Work series, with Jane Novak
as his leading lady and Roy Stewart as the heavy. They also filmed two-reel dramas, with Stewart in the lead and Lloyd
and Novak in support. Several films were made in the late summer and early fall before Lloyd defected to Keystone over a
pay dispute. Roach briefly tried another comedian, but production ceased when funds ran dry, with the company still
lacking a distributor. Roach then began directing comedies for Essanay, featuring such players as Bud Jamison and Snub
Pollard.

1915
Roach was directing comedies for Essanay when business partner Dwight Whiting succeeded in getting
Pathé Exchange interested in distributing the Rolin product. Pathé distributed only one Willie Work short,
"Just Nuts," and wanted Rolin to reunite the three principles, but only Lloyd was available. Pathé was able
to pick and choose which films they distributed, with Rolin turning over the rest to Motion Picture Specialties
Corporation, which found other distribution for a handful of the remaining films. During the summer, the company leased
facilities owned by Norbig Film Manufacturing Company at 1745-51 Alessandro Street in Edendale. Lloyd developed the
Lonesome Luke character during the course of the year, and was joined in July by Bebe Daniels and Snub Pollard. Dee
Lampton joined the Roach stock company late in the year. In October, Pathé committed to a long-term contract to
distribute the Luke series. It should be noted that Pathé released four films in 1915, "Lonesome Luke"
(June 7), "Once Every Ten Minutes" (July 12), "Soaking The Clothes" (Aug. 9)
and "Pressing His Suit" (Aug. 23) that were not made by Rolin Film Company, even though they've been
long attributed to the Lonesome Luke series. IMDb corrects this error, but credits Roach as an 'unconfirmed'
director.

1916
Rolin moved production in March to Pacific Laboratories on Santa Monica Boulevard. In April, they
attempted to hire Arnold Novello, better known as Toto, to star in his own series, but he was unavailable. In June, Rolin
launched rotund side player Dee Lampton into his own series, and gave him the ironic nickname Skinny. In August, the
Lonesome Luke series graduated to 2-reel status. Filming on the Skinny series ended in November, and Lampton returned
to the Rolin stock company. Late in the year, Rolin rented a vacant lot on Olive Street for their location work, and by
the end of the year, they had moved their main operation to the Bradbury mansion at 406 Court Street. IMDb lists three
Jimmy Aubrey comedies plus a film called "Jailed" as Rolin and Phunphilm films. All indications are that Aubrey
was in New York throughout 1916 and never did a series for Roach.

1917
In February, Roach went to New York to film the pilot for a new Toto series starring Arnold Novello, which
went into regular production in Los Angeles in May. In June, the Lonesome Luke series was discontinued in favor of a new
Harold Lloyd series in which he wore the lensless glasses with which most people associate him. While the Luke comedies
had been two-reelers, this new series tentatively reverted to the one-reel format. In October, a dispute between
Roach and Lloyd resulted in a short being filmed that featured sidekick Snub Pollard.

1918
Early in the year, the Los Angeles Fire Department ordered film production to cease on the vacant lot on
Olive Street. In March, there was another contract dispute between Roach and Lloyd, resulting in Alf Goulding filling in
for Lloyd in his latest short. On April 4th, Dwight Whiting sold his stock in the company to Roach, leaving the latter
without a business partner. In May, the Toto series was discontinued and Stan Laurel was signed on to star in his own
series. Unfortunately, the Laurel series fared even worse and expired in July.

1919
In April, the Harold Lloyd series expanded to a new two-reel format. In June, Lloyd leading lady Bebe
Daniels left the series and was replaced by Mildred Davis. The series came to an abrupt halt on Aug. 24th, when Lloyd
suffered a severe injury to his right hand, losing the thumb and forefinger, while posing for photographs with what he
thought was an inactive prop bomb. Two days later, a new series of one-reelers called 'Rolin Comedies' was
inaugurated, if only to keep the staff employed. These comedies initially starred Snub Pollard, but over the years, they
included most of the one-reelers made by the company, regardless of the star. Pollard's sidekick in these initial
comedies was child actor Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, who had arrived at the studio shortly before the
accident, and was signed to a long-term contract on Sep. 1st. Correspondence between Roach and Pathé executive
Fred Quimby during this period reveals that Roach wanted to start a series of 'coon' pictures, no doubt starring
Morrison. The head of Pathé in the US, Paul Brunet, vetoed this idea on the premise that 'kid' series were
generally not successful. Roach had to content himself with featuring Morrison in the Pollard series, which was advertised
as though the two were a comedy team. On Sep. 2nd, tragedy struck again when Dee Lampton, who had previously starred in
his own series, died of a ruptured appendix. In November, construction began on Hal E. Roach Studios in Culver City. The
land was provided for free by Harry Culver, who was trying to attract movie studios to his city. One contemporary
publication places the beginning of the Roach studio on November 8th, which may or may not have been the first day of
construction. Lloyd returned to work at the end of the year.

1920
The Harold Lloyd unit resumed production in early January, and within another two weeks, another series of
one-reelers was launched, this one starring Beatrice La Plante. This series was incorporated into the Rolin Comedies.
Production units began to use the new Culver City studio in February, but the official completion date wasn't until
April 20th. The La Plante series ended in April, and was replaced in June by a one-reel series called Vanity Fair
Maids, which quickly became Vanity Fair Girls, and starred Eddie Boland. This series was considered separate from the
Rolin Comedies. On Aug. 16th, Rolin Film Company was officially renamed Hal E. Roach Studios. With this name-change,
the one-reelers produced by the company were renamed the Hal Roach Comedies. IMDb includes "Nomads Of The
North" among the films Roach produced during this year, but they simultaneously attribute it to another company, so
it's doubtful that Roach was involved.

1921
In January, the Vanity Fair Girls were retired, and their series became a solo vehicle called the Eddie
Boland Comedies. In February, Charles Parrott (later known as Charley Chase) joined Roach to direct the Snub
Pollard series. Ernie Morrison's contract was renewed on February 28th. In March, Gaylord Lloyd (the brother of
Harold), was featured in a handful of the Hal Roach Comedies. Early in the year, Harold Lloyd's films began to be
funded by Associated Exhibitors. On April 17th, Roach contracted with the Ruth Roland company to make a serial in
conjunction with his company. In August, the Hal Roach Comedies started to feature Paul Parrott (actually Charles'
brother, James), who replaced the departing Eddie Boland. There was also a George Rowe pilot produced for this series
in August. On September 20th, Roach signed a contract with Pathé for the release of a Sunshine Sammy two-reeler
that failed to achieve series status. Late in the year, the Ruth Roland serial "White Eagle" was produced by her
own company in conjunction with Roach. With the release of Harold Lloyd's mini-feature "A Sailor-Made
Man," his unit switched exclusively to feature production. In December, Parrott (aka Chase) was appointed
director-general of the studio. This gave him supervisory status over all of the non-Lloyd films. Special
note: In his book, Richard Ward lists a one-reeler entitled "One-Quarter Inch," which was part of
the Lloyd reissue series and released on September 11th. This was either a retitled film, a previously unreleased film, or
a mistake in the source material.

1922
In January, the first film starring Hal Roach's Rascals was shot and titled "Our Gang," a
name that soon became an alternate title for the series. Roach and Pathé signed into a distribution deal for the
series on January 19th. In March, the Snub Pollard series graduated to 2-reel status, but this turned out to be a bad
idea and they soon reverted back to the one-reel format. A second Ruth Roland serial, entitled "The Timber
Queen," was produced this year. Towards the end of the year, Jobyna Ralston replaced Mildred Davis as Harold
Lloyd's leading lady. It appears that Charles Parrott (aka Chase) resigned as director-general in December
to concentrate on acting. The Will Rogers films "The Ropin' Fool" and "Fruits Of Faith" are listed
in IMDb as Roach films, but were almost certainly produced elsewhere.

1923
The Dippy Doo Dads series was started in January, independently of the Hal Roach Comedies. Stan Laurel was
added to the Hal Roach Comedies rotation in February. In March, Pathé signed a distribution deal with Mack Sennett,
which was a great disappointment to Roach. A serial starring Edna Murphy went into production in April, entitled "Her
Dangerous Path," and continued until August. A series of Rex the Wonder Horse features was also inaugurated. On April
29th, a party of fifteen from the Roach studio left for Catalina Island, returning on May 6th. The two-reel Spat
Family series was started in May. A two-reel series starring Will Rogers began production in June, and Stan Laurel
graduated to two-reel status around the same time. Harold Lloyd left the Roach studio in July to start his own
company. The Paul Parrott series was retired in August as Parrott (whose first name was actually James) was moved
behind the camera. Charley Chase (aka Parrott) started his own series in August, which was initially part of the
Hal Roach Comedies rotation. The Snub Pollard series was retired in September. The first Glenn Tryon feature went into
production in October. The short-lived Fite series was launched in December.

1927
The last Rex the Wonder Horse feature finished filming in January. F. Richard Jones resigned on March 9th,
to be replaced as director-general by Leo McCarey. The studio was closed during the entire month of July for summer
recess. Roach struggled with Pathé to be released from his contract, which wasn't set to expire until Sep. 1,
1930. In the summer, he sued Pathé over unfair distribution policies and finagled accounts, and the distributor
countersued. The case wasn't resolved until 1932, but MGM took over distribution at the beginning of Sep.

1928
Hal Roach was away from the studio from mid January until May 24th while taking a round-the-world
vacation. Early in the year, Laurel & Hardy were removed from the All Star series and launched into a series of their
own, while Max Davidson's series was cancelled, with Davidson being added to the All Star cast. The studio was closed
from Mar. 26th to May 2nd. In October, Roach announced a contract with the Victor Talking Machine company, which would
result in the studio being wired for sound. Leo McCarey's contract expired on Dec. 28th, leaving the studio without a
director-general. The studio closed on Dec. 29th for Christmas recess.

1929
Leo McCarey resigned as vice-president in January. The studio reopened on Jan. 28th after Christmas
recess. The studio closed from March 15th to March 23rd while sound equipment was installed. In mid-April, Roach made
plans to make twelve additional silent shorts for the upcoming film season, three from each series, but eventually decided
to simply make silent prints of some of the talkies. Thelma Todd joined the Roach stock company early in the year. Harry
Langdon took over the lead in the All Star series in June. The studio was closed from July 29th to Aug. 26th for summer
recess. Fred Karno was hired as director-general in October. That same month, the studio began producing
foreign-language versions of their films in which the principal actors recited their dialogue phonetically and the
supporting casts were replaced by actors fluent in the given language.

1930
Fred Karno's tenure as director-general came to a quick end in February. Harry Langdon left the
All Star series in February, and was replaced by The Boy Friends. The studio was closed during the entire month of March.
During this time, Hal Roach directed the feature "Men Of The North" for MGM, a rare instance in which he worked
outside of his own studio. In June, filming began on "Pardon Us," the first Laurel & Hardy feature. From
here on out, Laurel & Hardy would regularly make features in addition to their series of shorts. The studio was closed
July 13th through 19th.

1933
The studio reopened after Christmas recess on Jan. 9th. They closed again for a month starting in
mid-April. Roach took a trip to England at that time with Charley Chase and Robert McGowan, where he unsuccessfully
tried to make a deal with a company for a Laurel & Hardy feature and all-star film entitled "The Roach
Revue." At about the same time, ZaSu Pitts left the studio and was replaced by Patsy Kelly in the series with Thelma
Todd. Also, the Taxi Boys were retired, and the All Star series continued without them. A Musical series was also started.
The Our Gang series went on hiatus for five months starting in the late summer. On December 7th, the Roach studio
celebrated its 20th anniversary with a banquet and a half-hour radio show on NBC.

1935
After the Irvin S. Cobb shorts failed, Roach convinced MGM to distribute an All Star feature film called
"Vagabond Lady," which led to more of the same in the future. An announcement was made on Mar. 16th that the
Laurel & Hardy series had been terminated along with Laurel's contract. Due to start production on Mar. 25th was a
new series called The Hardy Family, featuring Oliver Hardy, Patsy Kelly and Spanky McFarland, with the first short to be
entitled "Their Night Out." This project reached the script stage before Laurel came to terms with the studio on
Apr. 8th. The last Laurel & Hardy shorts were produced early in the year, and they concentrated exclusively on
features after that. The studio was now down to three short subject series: Our Gang, Charley Chase, and Todd &
Kelly. Thelma Todd died on Dec. 16th.

Henry Ginsberg resigned on January 16th and was replaced as general manager by David Loew. Pert Kelton was
brought into the series with Patsy Kelly, but quickly replaced by Lyda Roberti. The Kelly & Roberti series and the
Charley Chase series were retired in the spring. The Our Gang series was downsized to one-reel status. Otherwise, the
studio concentrated on Laurel & Hardy features, and All Star features.

1937
Stan Laurel spent most of this year refusing to re-sign with Roach, and meanwhile formed his own
company. On March 4th, "Bored Of Education" won the Academy Award for Best One-Reel Short Subject of 1936.
In September, Roach formed a company called RAM with Vittorio Mussolini, son of the Italian dictator. Controversy
surrounding this venture brought about its premature end. On October 8th, Roach signed a four-picture deal with Stan
Laurel Productions, which brought about the reunion of Laurel & Hardy. Also during this year, a Cinecolor short
entitled "Daily Beauty Rituals" was filmed at the Roach studio, presumably by an independent company renting
studio space.

1941
After numerous flops in the feature market, Roach invented a new concept called the 'streamliner,'
a cross between a feature and a short subject, which UA could market as the lower half of a double bill. Roach also began
to regularly rent out studio space to other producers at this time, a practice that would continue for the remainder of
the studio's existence. The studio also produced three training films for the Army during this year.

On June 26th, Roach was called into active service in the Army, and he reported for duty on July 25th. The
current group of streamliners finished production in August, and Roach put studio production on temporary suspension. In
October, the U.S. Army Air Corps, or more specifically, the 18th Air Force Base Unit, left the Warner Bros. Burbank studio
and began to lease the Roach studio for the production of training films.

1944
United Artists released an Edward Small production entitled "Abroad With Two Yanks," which
started pre-production as a Hal Roach film and was filmed at Hal Roach studios.
1945
Roach was discharged from service, but couldn't initially start up any new productions, since the Army
Air Force didn't vacate his studio until the end of the year. In the meantime, he made plans to produce new films the
following year.
1946
Roach started production on a new series of streamliners on April 11th, but ran out of money in the early
fall after completing just four of them. Film Classics began to release a series of compilations entitled
"Funz-A-Poppin' Comedy Carnival," which was made up of old Hal Roach shorts.
1947
Roach signed a new distribution deal with United Artists on May 2nd.

with "Who Killed Doc Robbin" in the '80s to create two new films: The Adventures Of Curly And His
Gang and Curley And His Gang In The Haunted Mansion.
1948
Roach and UA agreed to terminate their contract. Shortly thereafter, Roach signed a new distribution deal
with MGM, which was soon terminated when Roach couldn't raise money to produce films. At this point, the studio was
still leasing its facilities to other production companies, which made up for the vast majority of production there. Among
these companies this year was Sierra Pictures, which rented space at the Roach studio to film "Joan Of Arc." The
only productions coming from the Roach company itself were occasional training or industrial films.

The Roach studio was still mainly renting studio space to independent producers. Shows produced at the
studio on a rental basis included "Beulah," and two shows produced by Hal Roach, Jr., "The Stu Erwin
Show" and "Racket Squad." The Hal Roach company itself produced television commercials and industrial
public relations films until late in the year when the "Magnavox Theater" films were made.

Film Classics' reissues of Roach product ceased during this year when the company went out of
business. Roach sold the television rights to his Our Gang backlog during this year. Roach production was limited to
television commercials and the syndicated series "The Children's Hour." Otherwise, most of the production
at the studio was by independent companies renting studio space. Among the shows made by independent companies were
"The Amos And Andy Show" and "The Abbott And Costello Show." Abbott and Costello also made a
theatrical feature at the Roach studio entitled "Jack And The Beanstalk."

Hal Roach Studios formed a partnership with Harry Allen in January, resulting in Guild International
Films, which was later renamed Guild Films, a company that was mainly involved in movie and TV distribution, but also did
some limited production. Roach Jr. started a company called Lincoln Productions, which was headquartered at the Roach
studio. Plans for extensive feature film production resulted in only one film, "Captain Scarface." Series filmed
at the Roach studio by other companies included "I Am The Law," "Topper," "The Life Of
Riley" and "You Are There." Roach, Jr., owned a 50 percent share in the company producing "Duffy's
Tavern," a TV series shot at the Roach studio. Since Hal Roach Studios are listed as the copyright holders, I've

In February, Hal Roach Studios was officially dissolved, with all of its assets purchased by Hal Roach
Jr., who absorbed them into his own company, Hal Roach Enterprises. In April, Hal Roach Enterprises changed its name to
Hal Roach Studios. Early in the year, Laurel & Hardy were signed up to do a series of four one-hour TV specials
called "Laurel And Hardy's Fabulous Fables." This idea never reached production. Among the series produced
by other companies renting space at the studio were "Where Were You?" and "So This Is
Hollywood."

1956
A TV series called "Telephone Time" began to appear early this year, and is identified as a
Roach production. However, the Copyright Catalog credits Passing Parade Films, Inc., with production for the earliest
episodes, with the Roach company not taking credit until 1957. Because of this, I've only included the later episodes
in this filmography. There is a good chance that the earlier episodes were filmed at the studio on a rental
basis.
