'''''The Sunny Corner''''' is a 1915 Australian stage play by Temple Harrison that was originally produced by [[William Anderson (theatre)|William Anderson]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1848928 |title=STAGE GOSSIP. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=23,773 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=14 October 1922 |accessdate=2 May 2024 |page=11 |via=National Library of Australia}} </ref>
Opening night was a notorious disaster with several audience members laughing throughout, yelling at the actors to "get off" and throwing coins and lemonade bottles on stage. This caused Harrison to abuse them from the stage at the end of the performance, saying he had never seen anything like it in a twenty five year career, and asking why they were not at the war front.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article59120991 |title=THIS "GODS" CONDEMNED. |newspaper=[[The Register (Adelaide)]] |volume=LXXX, |issue=21,299 |location=South Australia |date=15 February 1915 |accessdate=2 May 2024 |page=8 |via=National Library of Australia}} </ref>
