Die kleine Residenz is a German silent film fun play from 1913 with Hedda Vernon and Fritz Spira in the leading roles.
action
The prince of a small German princely house is supposed to marry the young Comtesse Asta. However, she is not enthusiastic about it because she is in love with another man. Therefore, her little sister, Comtesse Hertha, offers herself to look into the future husband instead of Asta. Disguised as the peasant girl Rieckchen, Hertha travels to the town of the small princely residence and takes a liking to the prince as quickly as he does to her when he discovers Hertha in this peasant costume on the street market among all the shopping baskets.
The prince then drives to Remmingen, where “his” Rieckchen (alias Comtesse Hertha) comes from and where the bride who is destined for him, Comtesse Asta, is supposed to wait. However, he shows no interest in her, Hertha's sister. The prince is all the more astonished that Hertha, the little sister of the bride-to-be, bears such a great resemblance to his lady of the heart Rieckchen! The prince and Hertha come together at Remmingen Castle, while Asta can also form the bond of life with her lover.
Production notes
The small residence passed film censorship in August 1913 and premiered on October 3, 1913. The short film produced in the Vitascope studio in Berlin's Lindenstrasse 32-34 had two acts.
criticism
"Hedda Vernon matured into a first film actress overnight. And in an acting manner that we like so much to see from fine American comedy actresses: the discreet, amiable mischievousness. This is joined by a pretty, flattering face, a delicate figure and our delight is awakened, our sympathy for the charming film image is lively. These sensations alone often make a success. [...] The name Vitascope vouches for the exactness of the staging and the refinement of the equipment and the photographic execution of the task. "
