Troublesome Secretaries was my first exposure to John Bunny
29 July 2009
While searching on YouTube for anything on forgotten silent comedian John Bunny, this was the earliest of his I could find. His co-star here is Mabel Normand who plays his daughter Betty. It seems male secretaries fall for Betty-since one of them just became engaged to her-and female ones fall for her father-though I'm not sure if that's actually true here since the one here just acts so over-the-top that I'm sure something's fishy there. Solution, get a sixty-year-old! I won't spoil anything else but what I saw wasn't funny to me although it's fascinating to see Ms. Normand before she signed with Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios and I am glad to see something of Mr. Bunny since so much of his work is lost. So I say Troublesome Secretaries is worth a look.
