Edward J. Ratcliffe (10 March 1863 – 28 September 1948) was an English actor of stage and screen.〔''Who Was Who on Screen'' 3rd edition, p.601 by Evelyn Mack Truitt, c.1983〕 He had an established stage career behind him when he came to films in 1915. He then spent nearly twenty years before the cameras before making his last film in 1933. He can be seen in many surviving silent and sound films. In the early Warner Brothers sound extravaganza ''The Show of Shows'' he plays Henry VI in the excerpted vignette from that play opposite John Barrymore's Richard III.〔''Silent Film Necrology'' 2nd edition, by Eugene Michael Vazzana, c.2001〕 Ratcliffe played Theodore Roosevelt on at least three occasions in films. He was born in and died in the same years as fellow Englishman character actor C. Aubrey Smith. New York barman Patrick Duffy claimed Ratcliffe brought the highball from England to the U.S. in 1894. ==Selected filmography== *''Out of a Clear Sky'' (1918) *''The Divorcee'' (1919) *''The Great Adventure'' (1921) *''Disraeli'' (1921) *''Miss 139'' (1921) *''Experience'' (1921) *''Sundown'' (1924)( *as Teddy Roosevelt) *''The Black Pirate'' (1926) *''Skinner's Dress Suit'' (1926) *''The Notorious Lady'' (1927) *''Cheating Cheaters'' (1927) *''The Prince of Headwaiters'' (1927) *''The Four Feathers'' (1929) *''The Jazz Age'' (1929) *''The Show of Shows'' (1929) *''Sally'' (1929) *''I Loved a Woman'' (1933)( *as Teddy Roosevelt) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「E.
