mixed feelings about this one. it's a harold lloyd,so you have to respect the accomplishments, but the story is really no big deal. silent films had only been around about six or eight years, so what he does is pretty cool, but the story plot itself is no ground-breaking thing. His co-star in this one is Mildred Davis (who he married in 1923) and it's the usual antics, running around, surprising each other, showing surprised face and running off into another room, or falling down the stairs. Lloyd is a genius, of course, but this was one of his "later" bits. Hal Roach is listed as producer, so of course it did well at the theaters. Directed by Fred Newmeyer, who was hit or miss when the talkies came about. check out actor mickey daniels who appeared in the Our Gang series way back when.. here he's in an un-credited role, but he goes on to be a pretty big shot,
