BILE for the remarkable reception this

the public.
Mack Sennett apuonced when
the picture was started that he would
offer a production in every way
superior of Mickey" in which this
same star scored so heavily a couple
of years ago, and the reviews, critic
isms, and laudatorv articles which
have been showered on MOLLY o"
volumes for the success he has
achieved The story OF molly o.
is the story of the daughter of poor
Irish family. Squalor. poverty and
want are her environment. but the
girl is blessed with a wonderful spirit
of hope and optimism, too busy en-
joying life as she finds it to become
a victim TO depression or its kindred
ills.
Dr. Bryant millionaire physician is
the idol of the poorer class-he is
devoting his time and skill and wealth
to provide for their health and COM
fort, and when the announcement is
made that he is to marry, Molly O."
is naturally interested. When ident-
ity OF his fiance seems to be a dark
secret she is more than interested.
In a spirit of fun, she pastes photo
graph of herself over the newspaper
article, and this is the Identical paper
her mother uses in wrapping the
laundry of a society girl. which Molly
delivers And it also happens that
this girl is the girl to whom the
physician is engaged. The discovery
of the pasted photograph brings down
from the pampered daughter of afflu
ence a TRADE on the head OF the
humble Molly-during which the
gentleman in the case enters. His
eyes are opened to the selfishnesses
of the girl he supposed he loved-as
they are to the real worth of Molly
O. The spirit of romance is born
Molly is thrilled when he offers to
take her home in his automobile-but
IaInRT lOOhllE OH SWellS as DGln&
dangerous TO poor girls forbids him
ever talking to Molly again. Love
will find a way-'tis said-and Molly
o now thoroughly realizes she loves
the doctor.
The father. believing to safeguard
Molly, selects as her husband his
helper--a man whom Molly detests.
| A fancy ball for charity is the next
incident in Molly's life. Her mother
has secretly worked for weeks on the
dress Molly is to wear-of course the
doctor is there-and of course fate
throws him and Molly together-and
Molly is the happiest in her life.
When the ball is over, fearing the
wrath of her father, she seeks the
| seclusion of barn to change her
J clothes-and here she is attacted by
| the helper-rescued by the doctor
and more complications ensue. More
trouble at home with her father
more determination on the part of
| the doctor and Molly O-and so the
| romance swings merrily along to the
| happy climax. 1t would take several
columns to describe the action which
| takes place in the rapidly moving
! closing chapters Of the happy glad
! play-but it will be enjoyed to the
! utmost by everyone who sees the
| feature.
The engagement is limited. and the
! management is urging attendance
| during the matinee screenings, that
! all may be accommodated.
