American actor who appeared in over fifty silent films with Harold Lloyd. PAUL HAWAS has 2 birthdays in 1887 in the State of Wisconsin Birth Records at Ancestry.com. (5 Oct and 6 Oct). There are several variations of the parents surnames, including "HARVEY". The parents had a son, PAUL L. HARWAS, born 1882 who died just 4 days after being born. It may be that LEW was named for him.
