Among Those Present is a 1921 American "three-reeler" silent comedy film directed by Fred C. Newmeyer, and starring Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis.
Plot
The bellboy at the Ritz-Waldorf hotel poses as Lord Algernon Abbott Aberdeen Abernathy and attends a fox hunt hosted by the nouveau riche O'Briens. He promptly falls in love with their daughter. After dazzling the party guests with tales of his great horsemanship, he is asked to ride Dynamite, their meanest horse, during the hunt– a stressful experience. Later learning that he was introduced to the O'Briens as part of a plan to rob them, he exposes the conspirators, and reveals himself as the bellhop. While Mrs. O'Brien is scandalized, Mr. O'Brien approves of the boy's relationship with their daughter.
