To say that Harold I.loyd's new comedy, Among Those Present" a- the Trianon. is sidesplitting is in no sense an exaggera,ion. It is roar ing. bowling comedy impossibly fun nv. During the release reviewed yes terday afternoon Among Those Present" kept the people laughing as few had possibly laughed in months.
 There is a real story, but it is Lloyd himself who really causes the fun. His experiences as the bell hop whc inipersonates the social Hon, Lord Algernon Abbot Aberdeen Aber- nethy, are funny in an active way and every incident is absolutely unex pected. There are the hunting sto rjes he tells as the" Lord" the great plan for the famous CD huntsman to ride "Dynamite."
