Harold wants the girl

The pretty girl Miss Wiggle is surrounded by suitors, but none of them will get the girl for her father wants her to marry Professor M.T. Noodle.Harold, who also wants the girl and the girl wants him, finds out about this and happens to meet the Professor.He intercepts him and becomes the professor himself.Soon he causes a mess at the tea party in the Wiggles' household.The Non-Stop Kid (1918) is a silent short comedy directed by Gilbert Pratt.The star of the movie is who else but Harold Lloyd.Bebe Daniels, who was romantically involved with Lloyd and was also in some of his Lonesome Luke movies, makes a fine female lead.Snub Pollard, another silent comedian, is very funny as Snub, the butler.William Blaisdell portrays Bebe's father.It's quite funny to watch Harold's musical performance.The skirt dance he performs is most hilarious.First we see 'Snub' showing him how the dance goes.The sugar gag is pretty funny.Sure Harold came up with something better later, since his comical character wasn't quite ready yet.But I had pretty much fun watching this.Harold never lets me down.
