Billie Ritchie Against Everyone

Billie Ritchie and Henry Lehrman are a couple of rustics competing for the favor of farmgirl Gertrude Selby. Another suitor comes into play, and the competition rises from throwing eggs to fighting with tires.

Ritchie, if he is remembered these days, is thought to be another Chaplin imitator. Like Chaplin, he came from the Fred Karno troupe in Britain. He was senior to Chaplin,and claimed that Chaplin was imitating him. Under the direction of Henry Lehrman, he played a thoroughly disagreeable character caught up in a whirlwind of chaotic slapstick. Sometimes it was very funny. Here, alas, it is also mildly disgusting.

It is a hummer in every way

Here is one of Mack Sennett's comedy pictures. It is a hummer in every way. It has a regular rural twang and never hesitates from start to the finish. It embraces all kinds of characters, including a fractious goose. There is a bomb effect, a chase and a wind-up where everybody gets soaked but the cameraman, in the river. If you want a good laugh see it. - The Moving Picture World, March 21, 1914
