As summarized by Anthony Slide, "There is considerable question not only as to why [Bunny chose to work at] Vitagraph, but also as to when. According to William Basil Courtney, Bunny's name first appeared on the Vitagraph payroll on October 27, 1910. Albert E. Smith claims Bunny's first Vitagraph film was <i>Doctor Cupid</i>, released on January 10, 1911. Historian and archivist Sam Gill, who has undertaken extensive research into John Bunny's career, believes that his first screen appearance was in <i>Jack Fat and Jim Slim at Coney Island</i>, released on December 2, 1910. The only subject on which there is general agreement is Bunny's initial salary—$40.00 a week" (Slide & Gevinson 1987, p. 47).</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-LoC-8"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-LoC_8-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-LoC_8-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation pressrelease cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-11-240/2011-national-film-registry-more-than-a-box-of-chocolates/2011-12-28/">"2011 National Film Registry More Than a Box of Chocolates"</a> (Press release).
