Fine Feathers
boblipton17 September 2018
Flora Finch tells husband John Bunny that he is looking shabby. She is going away for a few weeks and realizes she is a back number herself. While she is gone, Bunny spiffs up his wardrobe and meets pretty young Phyllis Grey and Emily Hayes. They are going to a seaside resort. Why doesn't he go too? When he gets there, he is given a room next to Flora, who has sprained her ankle; she is being attended to by Doctor William Humphrey, who thinks her a rich widow. The young women -- one can hardly call them ladies -- make friends with Flora and dish the dirt to the nice old people.

It's a very nice Bunnyfinch, one of the almost hundred times that Vitagraph paired them together, and it's easy to see why they were popular -- even though by report they didn't get along. They play their roles to the hilt. Both of them play very flatterable people, with good senses of humor and a love of gossip that makes this one, despite the coincidental nature of the set-up, very amusing.

Continuous laughter
deickemeyer5 January 2019
This is a very funny Vitagraph comedy in which Bunny and Flora Finch "cut all kinds of capers." The complications that occur, involving all the characters, including the doctor, are well handled and cause continuous laughter. At one time it looks like war, but the humor of the whole thing dawns on the belligerents and they conclude to abide by mediation. For a one reel this is chock full of meat. - The Moving Picture World, August 29, 1914
