Did you cut some of the titles out? In the scene where the lobster hooks on to the undergarment in the woman's purse, when she catches up to Harold she tells him that men like him are the reason she doesn't usually wear underwear.
@Joltyness In Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton's short Coney Island, Fatty and a girl got sent down on that boat thing and they fell out into the water!
@Makanai3 - pecan nut cluster -- these are still sold in Coney Island to this day. Also, while Luna Park was destroyed in a fire in 1942, it was re-opened just a couple of years ago. Too bad the Steeple Chase has not been re-opened!
I'll send you a PM with a link to that type of goody.
This film represents a windowpane into the idyllic and innocent 1920s, a time of prosperity (until the stockmarket crash of 1929) and absence of wars. Love the ladies hairstyles and dress of that by-gone era.
Great choice of music! Always interesting to see how a new "score" can change the mood of these old films into a strange and lovely melancholy. Isn't the footage of Luna Park wonderful? It was the Disneyland of its day.

Just curious, does anybody have the whole 'It smells like rain' fight scene from Speedy they can put up? That's the best part of the whole movie!

He looked a bit startled at the end of that slide, wonder if it was a real reaction.

When I first saw this movie with my family, we joked about how incredibly unsafe all the rides looked, haha.

Weird to think that Coney Island was beautiful once upon a time...
