Torchy Comedies Recent Reviews Recent Exhibitor Comment A Torchy Comedy " BATTLING TORCHY." " Here's a winner." It is not only one of the most enjoyable of the Torchy Comedies, but it is a worthy competitor of any comedy on the market. C. C. Burr has continually offered consistent laugh-getters, and Tohnny Hines was never seen to better advantage than in " Battling Torchy." The story is a good one in the first place, the titles are funny without punning, and there are high class gags following one another in rapid fire order. Few prize fight scenes have been done more realistically or amusingly than that which occupies the latter half of the second reel of " Battling Torchy." — Matt Taylor in the Motion Picture News. . . . " whose work in ' Battling Torchy ' has won the unanimous and hearty approval of every critic who has viewed the picture." — " Reel Facts." " TORCHY TAKES A CHANCE." . . . "An amusing comedy built around a lottery ticket that wins a prize. The gags follow one another in rapid succession, the business is Cleveland no time wasted. ' Takes a Chance ' is one of the best of the series, and will entertain any audience. It is full of good comedy work and has an abundance of laughs." — The Film Daily. "TORCHY TAKES A CHANCE." . . . " Was the comedy feature at the New York Strand for the week of March 5. . . . The picture was well received by a large afternoon house. . . . And one of the cleverest pictures made by the popular 4 Torchy ' of the screen, played last week at the Strand theatre." — Exhibitors' Trade Review. " TORCHY'S KNIGHTHOOD," with Johnny Hines.
