Once Bebe Daniels gave her notice, Harold Lloyd began seeking a female replacement. His producer, Hal Roach, discovered Mildred Davis, whose previous resume consisted of small parts in several movies. Lloyd felt she would be perfect for his next film, December 1919's "From Hand To Mouth." This became the first of 15 films she would appear alongside him. The comedian became totally smitten with the new-found actress, and the two married for a lifetime of total bliss in 1923.
"From Hand To Mouth" deals with a trio of lawyers who are looking to swipe the inheritance of Davis if she doesn't sign the legal papers by midnight. An attempted kidnapping by their hired thugs is intended to prevent her from laying down her John Hancock onto those papers. All that is in the way from their plans from obtaining a successful cache of dough is, of all people, Harold Lloyd, her future husband in real life.
