oMIekey,n NormandIs Best.

PROFESSIONALLY, the best character
in which Mabel Normand was ever
seen is that of Mickey" the child OF
nature, who lost her parents, and grew
up in a mining camp under the care
of big hearted miner. The keenness
of the scenario writer is we'll brought
out in the playful antics of Mickey,
her bulldog and her lop- cared burro,
and the teasing manner in which she
handles her foster father. She is a
versatile little lady, who can swim,
ride, fight, dance or make love and
don't give a darn which, and her free
independent way is given full swing
in the story which starts at the Grand
tomorrow.
