I'm really not sure. I wondered myself.
I asked on the silent film page and I was told it's clearly Sherlock Jr.!
Cool! I’ve seen that one at some point, but don’t know most of Buster’s features well enough to recognize a still like that
Same here!

Yes, that's a nice one. The whole photo has a blonde effect.

Here is one of Francelia Billington.

I only know her from one film, and that is Blind Husbands (1919) with Erich von Stroheim. It's been years since I watched that, but I seem to remember her being pretty good in it, though it's von Stroheim who holds your attention most of the time. He was his usual excellent hun-you-love-to-hate self. :D

That's a very poetic name isn't it, Francelia Billington? (I guess it's pronounced Fran-SEE-lya?)

She looks a little like Bebe Daniels.

Here's nice one of Harold Lloyd and his wife Mildred with Harold, Jr.

Wow! He barely looks anything like we are used to seeing him.
