SUMMARY:SILENT FILM - TWO COMEDY SHORTS - "HIGH & DIZY" HAROLD LLOYD & "THI
 S IS EDEN"
DESCRIPTION:"SO THIS IS EDEN" Is a charming silent film that playfully sati
 rizes society's norms while exploring themes of love\, ambition\, and mism
 atched expectations. It also involves the advertising of the Hoover vacuum
  cleaner and was one of the first commercial motion pictures to be show in
  theaters and was distributed independently through Hoover's district mana
 gers.\n\nThe film begins with an animated prologue about Adam and Eve\, th
 en segues to the story of the Wendells\, a young couple who are having tro
 uble in their marriage. Eve is frustrated by housework and wants Jim to as
 k for a raise. She dreams of living a more luxurious lifestyle\, like her 
 neighbor\, Mrs. Allen. While out shopping with the little bit of money Jim
  has given her\, Eve runs into Don\, a wealthy former suitor. When Jim sta
 rts working late\, Eve turns to Don for company and understanding. On the 
 day she intends to run away with Don\, the unsuspecting Jim tells her to e
 xpect a surprise delivery\, which turns out to be a Hoover vacuum cleaner.
  The sales representative demonstrates the miraculous appliance\, and dela
 ys Eve so that she misses her assignation with Don. Jim comes home and ann
 ounces that he has received a promotion. Eve decides to stay. The vacuum c
 leaner has saved their marriage. Dated 1925. Film duration 33 minutes.\n\n
 HIGH &amp\; DIZZY - HAROLD LLOYD - The film revolves around a young woman 
 who sleepwalks and the doctor who is attempting to treat her. The climacti
 c scene involves the young woman sleepwalking precariously on the outside 
 ledge of a tall building\, anticipating Lloyd's more famous skyscraper-sca
 ling scenes in Safety Last (1923). A subplot has Lloyd and his friend gett
 ing inebriated on homemade liquor and then trying to avoid a prohibition-e
 ra policeman who pursues them for being drunk. Film duration 26 minutes. D
 ated 1920. Directed &amp\; produced by Hal Roach.\n\nDoors and bar open at
