Only a Farmer's Daughter

Charley Chase is the slick urban dude whose car breaks down out in the sticks. While Fritz Schade is rescuing the auto -- picking it up out of the mud puddle, inflating its tires with his own breath -- Charley is wooing pretty Vivian Edwards, persuading her to come with him to the city. This, even though she's Fritz's betrothed.

It's the standard city slicker versus the noble rube plot, a standard of the melodrama, and already decayed enough in the popular view to be familiar enough and ripe enough to burlesque. The gags are fairly limited in this second ranked Keystone, but it's well edited and performed.

An eccentric comedy with rube characters of an amusing type, particularly the old man. There are some funny spots all through this; the tent scenes are of a slightly vulgar sort but may be easily cut out. - The Moving Picture World, January 30, 1915
