Dir: Fred C. Newmeyer

*****
Among Those Present is a great Harold Lloyd short. His stunts involving animals are particularly impressive, the scene with the fox and the bear in the tree being my favourite. Another thing I liked about this one is that it has a happy ending. The scene where he gives a light for his cigarette to himself in the mirror is also brilliant, a nod to the popular surrealist movement taking place in Europe perhaps? I can't get enough of Harold Lloyd, it's always a delight to watch one of his films.
