HAROLD LLOYD: I had just completed a picture called Welcome Danger. I had finished it silent, and we previewed it, and on the bill was a little one-reel sound comedy, and they howled at this comedy. They had the punkest gags in it, but they were laughing at the pouring of water, the frying of eggs—it didn’t matter—the clinking of ice in a glass. We said, “My God, we worked our hearts out to get laughs with our thought-out gags, and look here, just because they’ve got some sound to it, they’re roaring at these things.”
