Biography
Harold Gilmore Calhoun arrived in 1896, ink already glinting in his veins. Before he turned twenty he had startled nickelodeon crowds with two one-reel lightning bolts: 1913’s *The Cure*, a brisk prescription of laughter, and 1915’s *The Man Who Couldn’t Beat God*, a morality tale that dared audiences to outwit the Almighty. After the credits rolled he slipped from the marquee lights into quiet decades, dying in 1968 with his secrets and his typewriter intact.
