. HUMOR
4tTlA ICKEY" is fuU of
1'A fun and frolic. It
sparkles with humor and
bubbles with laughter, so
that there is not a dull
moment. And when the
seven reels aro finished,
the play seems much too
short. i
The comedy is built
upon the reality of hu
man incidents and situa
tions, livery laugh is sin
cere, running throoKli the
play as golden threads
run UirouKh a piece of
cloth, Riving it pattern
and texture and richness.
PATHOS
THE sad and pathetic
:...incidcnts grip with
a gonuine, human appeal.
The situations are natur
al, and never overdrawn,
and the shadows blend In
a perfect harmony with
tho sunshine- of tho sce
nario. The acting throughout
is so simple and unaffect
ed and real, and the cli
maxes are reached so sub
tly, tiint the audience is
frequently on the verge
of tears without tjulto
knowing why.
LOVE
THR heart Interest In
".Mickey" has never
before been surpassed In
motion picture history.
Although the Incidents
attondlng Mickoy's court
ship are unusual, they are
as beautifully human and
natural as love Itself.
The glorious romance,
which starU in tho early
scenes, holds and fasdii
bum to a happy ending.
There Is a deep, heart
felt appeal In tho unaf
fected, wholesome lovo of
this adorulilc llttlo girl.
ADVENTUKE
NO photoplay lias yet
been produced so
filled with adventure nnd
thrills as "Mlckoy." The
novelty und Intensity of
the thrills are Indeed re
markable. Katalltics scent
to bo nvoided by a hair's
breadth with a rnility
that Is tremendously con
vincing. Thero Is thrill . upon
thrill, and each thrill In
thtno suspense exciting
Incidents Is Just n llttlo
bit hotter than tile last,
until at tholr climaxes the
nudlenco Is fairly brought
to Its feet out of sheer en
thusiasm and excitement.
