Jane's Hubby

Jane’s Hubby is a routine domestic silent comedy that centers on the friction of early 20th-century marriage. Charles King plays the titular husband, a man whose existence is defined by his inability to meet his wife Jane's (Thelma Daniels) exacting standards. The plot follows a standard day of domestic errors, starting with a disastrous breakfast and culminating in a social gathering where the husband’s social anxieties lead to physical catastrophe. It is a film built on the 'henpecked husband' archetype, where every attempt at independence by the male lead results in a pratfall or a stern lecture from his better half.
