I love the soundtrack music! It's from later than 1920 (in fact the good fidelity proves it was done in the 'electrical' recording process, which was new around 1925). I'd put this arrangement closer to the end of the decade. This is truly 'jazz', in the original, 1920s sense of syncopated pop music, which 'lilted', but did not swing. Lots of 9s and 13s in the chords.

I adore Lloyd & he & Davis( his future wife had such chemistry on screen

You really can't beat a good bit of Harold Lloyd - thank you for sharing.

Lloyd's my second favorite silent comedian after Buster Keaton. Both were absolutely amazing athletes in addition to being very funny.

Wow, Harold was handsome, dig his hair cut too

Roach, Lloyd... Pure american cinematic history.

Poor Lloyd's son Harold Lloyd, Jr. Not every genius sires a genius!

You can see bits of safety last in this short

When cloves, corkscrews and footrails went out of fashion - I assume this means the very beginning of prohibition in the USA which was two years earlier?

Mr Lloyd is an absolutely outstanding performer. But to do what he’s doing up that high, acting drunk…he easily could have fallen to his death. Does anyone wonder how he got back onto the ledge after hanging by his fingers? I’m amazed that this extraordinary risk was allowed.

Notice at 31 sec into video what looks like 2 burning marijuana cigarettes hence name of the video

[rafaelmadrigal]

The main actor lost a finger in one the stunts of his many movies. ( right hand )
