When you think of a comedian doing a film titled 'The Extra Girl' you might, like me, think of gags on a film set. No such thing is present here however, and in fact there is hardly even a laugh to be had. 'The Extra Girl' is far more romantic melodrama than it is comedy.
Desiring to be an actress, and unhappy with the man her parents set her up with, Mabel off and leaves to Hollywood, where she finds herself working not on screen, but in the costume department. That amounts to the first half hour or so, and that is the point I stopped watching. Nothing of any interest happened to make me want to find out what happens next.
