Little Mary Miles Minter is the
bright star of this attraction, and
those who have followed her in

perience she has had. Both on the
speaking stage and in the studios
she has long been a diligent worker.
The fantastic story is clean, whole
some and entertaining 70 adults as

son of cheerfulness that should have
a general appeal.
