Harold Lloyd -- So Good That It Hurts -- May 6, 2023

Motion Picture News, 12-May-1923

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.

"They are tearing the arms off the chairs in Portland." "A knockout in Omaha." "Biggest business of year in Akron."

Washington Times, 12-May-1923

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."

With the retirement of Mildred Davis after Safety Last, Jobyna Ralston became Harold's new leading lady. She had appeared in many one-reelers for Hal Roach. This is not a flattering photo of Jobyna.
