DeWilde Joe Lari Von Hemmer Yerkes Edith Fellows "Leo Carrillo Scott Colton Jacqueline Wells -Margaret Irving Inez Palange George McKay Thurston Hall rank C. Wilsca John Gallaudet Walter Stahl Ivan Miler Miss, Fellows sings and acts her way to fame in the "Little Miss Roughneck" at the Metropol Theatre. She is wayward, impulsive and i patient in the beginning of the pi ture, until Mr. Leo Carillo steps in and tells her how to "sing because you like it and not in order to impress the audience." His sympathetic, kindly advice goes a long way to transform a capricious, clever, swell headed stripling into a promising star, who pleases the audience with fine singing and intelligent acting. It seems that Mr, Aubrey Scotto believes in much noise and action as even children in his rural scenes are at times inclined to behave in a manner which is all but human. Miss Jacqueline Wells is well cast in the role of gentle, attractive Mary La Rue, while Mercedes Orozco gives a fine account of himself, in the role of Inez Palange, The "Scrappy's Music Lesson," cartoon preceding the picture, is not up to Hollywood standard, and if the crazy parrot could have been switched off before he appeared on the scene, he would have spared the spectators a few tense minutes.
Apart from this, it was a treat to hear Mr. Leo Carillo sing and play his guitar, while an impressive well-acted mob scene, and a good final operatic fade-out make the show well worth seeing.—M.v.
