    The Extra Girl review
    Country girl Mabel Normand travels to Hollywood in the hope of becoming a movie star after winning a competition, without realising that her love rival for the boy-next-door, Ralph Graves, substituted a glamour photo for her own, so she ends up working in the costume department. Normand's health problems were finally beginning to take their toll when she made this pleasant but unremarkable comedy, and the William Desmond Taylor affair had irreparably damaged her career, but she still makes a winning heroine. Highlights include her disastrous audition and a lion on the loose in the studio.
