pIications follow, and it would spoil the story-and be unfair to the author ito try and tell the plot of this anus ing play
 The "play is the thing" but then we must remember the girls. Bob makes the boast that he has the pret- tiest girls on the American stage. Af- ter you see them you will realize that it is not a boast but 8 reality. In A Mint Spy the girls are at their best. All new, elaborate costumes, new dances and ensembles. A Mint Spy is colorfu1 to the eye, jingling to the ear and snappy and speedy at all times.
 Before the musical show there is a Triangle feature with Dorothy Dalton and a screaming funny two-reel Key stone comedy.
