Bunny Dips Into Society, also known as Bunny and the Bunny Hug, is a short American silent comedy film.
A poor but gregarious Irish nightwatchman is falsely introduced as a count at a society ball. He proved to be very popular, especially with the ladies. In one sequence, Bunny performs a (at the time) new and popular dance, the Bunny Hug.
Bunny Dips Into Society was released on May 17, 1913, in the United States, where it was presented as a split-reel with another Vitagraph comedy, Three to One. It was released in London on August 25, 1913,[2] and was still circulating on the British mainland in late February, 1914.[3] It accompanied Selig's production Wamba, a Child of the Jungle when that film screened in New Zealand.[4]
The film has survived and was presented, with live musical accompaniment by Ben Model at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[5]
