A big city daily said of the Grands
feature picture that opens sunday
night for a four days run:
When you see Mabel Normand in
her characterization of the adorable
tom-boy, Mickey" you will come to
the conclusion that 1t is little won
der that this comedy has been the
sensational hit of the year in the
movies. Mickey" is far and away
the best thing Mabel Normand has
ever done and this is not forgetting
the days of her triumph with IL
Keystone stars when she shared
honors with Chaplin and the best OF
them. 1t has the sweet smell of the
mountain air for it's beginning and
then it moves into aristocratic circles
in the east where they try to break
down the spirit of the uncouth noun
tain charmer. Mickey, however,
never forgets her hoydenish delight
in life and she is a match for the
most sophisticated OF her annoyers.
YoE will love Mickey for herself and
