6/10

fine comedic short

Harold (Harold Lloyd) gets all dressed up with help from Snub the Butler. He's attending The Girl's birthday party but he's too bashful to kiss her. He receives a telegram giving him an inheritance of $2 million as long as he has a wife and baby. The Girl is eager to be his wife and all they need now is a baby.

This is a 10 minute short with Harold Lloyd. It has its fun and Harold is working on his comedic skills. The police are like Keystone Cops. The Girl has plenty of sass. It's a good short although it doesn't have any big physical comedy elements. It certainly doesn't have his later highrise act.
