THEATRES
Strand Attraction

Comedy is so abundant in molly
o." the Associated First National
Pictures attraction which is the cur
rent release at the Strand theatre
tomorrow that the fact should not
be lost sight of that primarily the
production is one of a very dra-
matte and thrilling story. 1t is the
story of a gritty girls fight for a
place in the world, and a happiness
that she could never attain IL she
permitted environment to overcome
her.
Mack Sennett's name has become
almost synonymous with hilarious
comedy, so that the dramatic quail
ity of the production comes as
revelation to those who do not re-
call that he was the producer OF
Mickey" the picture which several
years ago with Mabel Normand as
the star, established a precedent for
success which has never since been
equalled.
Molly o the heroine is too jolly
a character to be able to keep genu-
inc fun out of her life in spite of her
extremely pathetic position. Never
theless the story of her courtship
and marriage the failure of the
union and then the reconciliation,
is as dramatic and thrilling a story
as has ever been placed on the
screen.
