    Highly recommend this vintage short subject with Harold Lloyd from 1917. Lots of laughs and fun to boot!

    This film was considered Lost until discovered in the 1970's in the Yukon of Canada under an old ice rink during renovation. A cache of more than a hundred silent films had been buried in the permafrost which preserved them for decades as nitrate film was prone to dissolve. I think this was the only Lloyd film in the discovery. The damage on the film is from deterioration during burial.
    Good thing Bebe ended up with Harold (at least on screen). Those first 3 suitors looked as if they'd be happier exchanging one another's phone numbers. Nice score Mr. Model.

    This was a very enjoyable Harold Lloyd silent comedy with an excellent score by the silent film accompanist "extrodanare" Ben Model himself who makes watching the film all the more enjoyable.

    Bonjour monsieur Ben Model. Félicitation pour votre prestation musicale. Il me semble (mais je ne suis pas sûr à 100 pour 100) que j'ai déjà vu sur You Tube une version de ce film en bien meilleur état... Je regarde régulièrement ces films muets: il s’agit d'un humour et d'un comique jamais égalé. Un rythme sans pareil: une trouvaille par minute, beaucoup de création. Merci pour tout!

    It's interesting that "Jeeves" was already used as a generic butler name this early. P. G. Wodehouse had created the character of Jeeves in his short stories, starting in September 1915, with four more in 1916 and one in March 1917 in the Saturday Evening Post in the USA (slightly different dates in the Strand magazine in the UK).

    Nice little flick. I hope there's a better print lying around somewhere. Either that or a good digital restoration.

      Unfortunately, this is the only existing copy, found among the Dawson City buried nitrate reels. The restoration could be better but it wouldn't do much. The damage is to the stock itself. It's part of the film forever.

    Why such a crystalline picture, with half the screen blotched up with damage? There are much clearer (but blurry) versions on TH-cam without all the distracting flashes.

    100 year old film. Today's technology. Too bad they couldn't find a way to clean this up digitally. Or have they but just not here? However the musical accompaniment is stellar.

      This transfer was done about 10 years ago. Even with today's technology, nitrate decomp is not something that can be repaired. The answer is yes and no -- yes some cleanup and stabilization is currently possible, and the 'no' answer is because it is a costly process. Not everyone has the budget for this. When it happens, it's wonderful, though.

    I read that Harold wanted to marry Bebe but she didn’t want to preferred her career! I personally thought that Jobyna was his perfect match but Mildred turned out to be a true Catholic too! The first and last marriage to last their whole lives together in Hollywood!

      This is false information. This poster puts this on all of Harold's movies. Harold was a prominent Shriner official, a Masonic order. As such he was a prominent supporter of children's hospitals He married his bride of 40 years in St. John's Episcopal church, later cathedral. No biography I have read has ever suggested either of them converted to Roman Catholicism. But some people need to play sectarian politics and invent things.
