His Secretary is a 1925 American silent comedy film directed by Hobart Henley. The film stars Norma Shearer and Lew Cody.[1]
As described in a film magazine review,[2] Ruth, a young woman who is in love with her employer but is ignored by him and all other men, learns the reason for her unpopularity while she is on a trip as her employer’s secretary. She overhears her boss saying he would not kiss her for a thousand dollars. After their return, and after a change in her character and outlook, her employer attempts to make love to her. She rejects him in a manner that piques him, and later he declares his love for her.
