Bonnie May is a silent 1920 American comedy-drama film based on the 1916 novel by Louis Dodge. It was directed by Ida May Park and Joseph De Grasse and starred Bessie Love.
An orphaned girl (Love) grows up in the theater. She becomes smarter and stronger, but never loses her optimism.
As this was Bessie Love's first film with Film Exchanges of America, Inc., it was very heavily promoted. A thirty-eight page press book was created, as well as special souvenir mirrors.
On its release, it was shown with The Son of Tarzan; Mystic Mush, a Hank Mann comedy; and a Mutt and Jeff cartoon.
The film received positive reviews. Author Louis Dodge, who wrote the novel on with the film is based, highly praised Love's performance.
