Billy the Kid is a 1911 American silent Western film directed by Laurence Trimble for Vitagraph Studios.
The following is one of the only reviews of the 1911 short film from The Moving Picture World:[2] The duties of the sheriff as performed by "Uncle Billy" were not a matter of pleasure.
His son-in-law is a member of the posse; lie and "Uncle Billy" leave the house hurriedly to join their comrades in pursuit of the outlaws.
When "Billy, the Kid," is sixteen years of age, her grandfather sends her to a town school.
The "Kid" is taken captive and held as a ransom; they send a note to "Uncle Billy" saying: "If he will grant them immunity, they will restore the 'Kid.'"
