 FOR THE LAST TIME

Today will be the last showing of Mickey" the wonder picture of the sea- son. Few pictures have caused such wide comment and general interest as has Mickey" Birmingham has enjoyed this picture Il admany have lavished loud praise on the production. During the presentation last week and yesterday crowos packed the Rialto theatre
 Mickey is a picture you will never for get and it's human appeal and intense interest causes it to be classed in the class of the biggest pictures. Mabel Nor mand plays the part of Mickey This role has placed her in an enviable place in stardom. No actress of the screen could play Mickey as appealingly as does Miss Normand.
 As the unsophisticated country girl and as the beautifully gowned woman in the east, she plays her role to perfection.
