John Dunning Quote
John’s Other Wife was such a perfect title for a soap opera that it was lampooned by Fred Allen (as Duncan’s Other Fife, etc.) and other comics for years. The main point of contention was the romantic triangle—store owner John Perry, his wife Elizabeth, and John’s secretary, Annette, who became fixed in Elizabeth’s mind as John’s other wife. While Elizabeth wrung her hands and fretted, John was trying to survive the furious competition from Sullivan’s luxurious department store across the street. At one point in the serial, John’s assistant, Martha, came in for the brunt of Elizabeth’s other wife jealousies.
