While he and Lauretta are tete-a-teting Marsh is announced. Bunny hides behind the portieres. It is now Marsh's turn. He trips in with an immense box of Jacque roses, which he presents with a great flourish and much to do. He is getting on finely when another visitor comes in.

Bad Sunny

Mr. Marshall P. Wilder and Mr. John Bunny are the two bright stars in this sparkling comedy. It made the audience shout with laughter and is easily the best comedy for two weeks. If Bunny, in it, is just a bit funnier than Wilder, it is because he is even funnier than usual, as though Wilder, being near him, like another log, had made him burn brighter. They make a rare combination. Wilder is a 20th century king's jester; a touchstone brought up-to-date, and Bunny, although he is not only full of laughter himself, but the cause of laughter in others, is like Bottom. They never met before. An exhibitor can rely upon this comedy. It has its good scenes and its better scenes; but it will be no disappointment. It can safely be advertised as a house-filling comedy. - The Moving Picture World, January 27, 1912
