And A Drink Wouldn't Hurt
boblipton10 November 2006
John Bunny and his partner are looking to hire a new stenographer and have a good gawk at the beauties that show up, half wearing furs -- this is a movie, after all. But, not surprisingly, their wives insist that the boys hire Flora Finch, Bunny's nemesis in so many movies.

It is hard to define John Bunny's attraction to the movie-going public of the era. Certainly their choices were limited, but Mr. Bunny has a certain amount of lechery in his soul, like W.C. Fields would later demonstrate, but much more amiable and self-aware about it. Whatever the circumstances, his movies were usually scripted for his talents and are still amusing.

The audience roared
deickemeyer30 September 2016
A very good comedy with a brilliant cast. Brown and Jones, played by Eldridge and Bunny, need a new stenographer and many answer the ad; the office is full of girls. Among these are Miss Walker, a blonde, and Miss Baird, a brunette. Brown comes in and inspects them. Jones comes in and inspects them. One wants the blonde; the other wants the brunette. Presently Mrs. Brown (Kate Price) and Mrs. Jones (Julia Swayne Gordon) come in and they make their choice. Each brings her husband out of the inner office by the ear and shows her to him. Both have chosen the same stenographer; she is Flora Finch. The audience roared. Enough has been said. The photographs are fine. - The Moving Picture World, March 9, 1912
