Harold Lloyd's thrill comedy Safety Last was another great success. This trade ad calls it "The First Seven Part Comedy." Seven part means Seven reels.

I like the minimalist design of this ad, which says that
Safety Last was being held over for a second week at the Metroplitan Theater in Washington, DC. "Second Hysterical Week."
