“SPEEDY”
Arnica, court plaster and mercurochrome were favourite first aids while Lloyd was making his newest laughcreator, “Speedy,” which will be released by Paramount in New Zealand this year. Frequent calls were made on the impromptu Red Cross station, especially during the fight sequence which provides one of the high spots in his latest work. Lloyd has put many funny “factions,” which is purely a motion picture term meaning “sequences,” on the screen, but none more original, and few anv funnier, than the fight in “Speedy.” Old men whose average age probably would have been TO, come to the rescue of Lloyd when thugs attempt to steal his horse car. The resultant fracas, one of the broadest laugh sequences ever seen in a Lloyd picture, produced much novelty in the gag line. and- the methods followed by the Lloyd faction in "winning is both clever and extremely funny.
