In the vast archive of Comedy cinema, Her Daily Dozen stands as a unique vision beacon, it's essential to look at the contemporaries that shared this unique vision. Our cinematic experts have identified several titles that reflect the spirit of 1925.

The Her Daily Dozen Phenomenon

Few films from 1925 manage to capture to leave an indelible mark on the history of United States film.

Edna is a slavey in a boardinghouse. She has a good time when she sleeps - on the floor, rolled up in a carpet, with a phonograph playing on her chest. The landlady pays her $2 a week and thinks it is too much. The star boarder loves Edna, but does not pay his rent. When the landlady comes in through the door, the boarder pops out through the window. He slips downstairs to help Edna dry dishes. Then he goes with her to the market. She gives him her bundles. He drops them, falls over them, bumps, trips and finally manages to get home with them. Edna spies an ad which calls for an athletic instructor. She takes him with her. The fat gym owner wants Edna and gives the boarder a sock in the eye to let him know that he is not wanted. Edna insists that he be hired. Then it is that the boarder has the time of his life, pulling a porous-plaster from his boss' back, and also massaging him. The boss takes a dislike to him and chases him all over the gym. Edna, meanwhile, is in gym togs doing gym tricks with the girls. The men battle in the swimming pool, on the trapeze, on an upper runway, and over the gym floor. Back in the pool again, the boarder lands on his boss' neck and sticks, thumping him with a rolling-pin for a grand and glorious victory.
