Mr. Lloyd remains original, rapid, hysterogenic. This time he is Harold Hickory, rabbitty member of a bearish backwoods sheriff's family. He outwits his lumbering brothers and a traveling band of medicine fakers; outflirts the faker's delicious dancer (Jobyna Ralston). Latest Lloyd laughables: a "grinning" stork; laundry on a kite string; amorous tree-climbing; a monkey in a man's shoes; synthetic dishwashing; ringtoss with life...
