Bunny is always a host in himself
deickemeyer23 July 2016
A Bunnygraph comedy. The situation is not wholly fresh nor very strong; but Bunny plays the part of Captain Jenks, an old sea captain who fell in love with a widow. Bunny is always a host in himself in such a comedy and, in this instance, the audience enjoyed his presence and acting very much. The captain was lonesome and proposed to a widow; he was astonished to learn that she had five children. This was his dilemma. He had a friend, a very old sea captain, who gave him advice on the situation. He advised him to tell the widow that he had eight children. She said, "The more the merrier." The old salt then advised picking out eight likely newsboys. This he did and took them to see the widow. Before they had been there long, the distracted woman gave him back his ring. It is well photographed and put on and is a picture of merit, although it falls somewhat below being a masterpiece. - The Moving Picture World, January 20, 1912
