WHITE MICE PLAY SAFE
"WHITE MICE" was written by the great master of adventure, Richard Harding Davis. The action of this picture takes place in the Island republic of Monibello on the Carribbean, a land of romance and revolution. William Powell takes the part of a Young American, Roddy Forester, who is in love with the daughter of the deposed and imprisoned president, (portrayed by Jacqueline Logan), He organizes a band of foreigners who call themselves "White Mice." After a series of exciting adventures they rescue the imprisoned president, who is restord.
"PLAY, SAFE" is ssentially a comedy although it has considerably more plot than the average humorous photoplay. There is a lot of excitement when IMonty's sweetheart gets caught on a runaway train and is rescued by him.
Both these subjects are clean and wholesome. Children and grownups
will enjoy them immensely. , t^ i

THE PIED PIPER OF HAMLIN
Based on the familiar poem by Robert Browning "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" follows closely the story as told by the immortal English bard. Several verses from the poem are used as titles to the various scenes. The town of Hamlin, located close to the River Weser, is horribly infested with rats. They "bit the babies in their cradles and ate the soup from the cooks' own ladles." The major and his advisors are helpless before the demands of the populace that something be done about the scourge. Then a mysterious stranger who calls himself "The Pied Piper"' appears before the mayor and his corporation. He tells them he possesses the power of being able to charm all living creatures and asks them if they are willing to pay him one thousand guilders if he rids Hamlin of its rats. They answer that they would gladly pay 50,000 guilders to have this job accomplished.
The Pied Piper starts to blow his pipe and all the rats follow him to the River Weser where they jump in and are drowned. When the Piper asks for his thousand guilders the mayor and the members of the corporation laugh at him. They tell him that since the rats arc all dead and can't be brought back, they see no reason why they should pay him for luring them away. The Piper warns them that if they do not keep their promise he may "pipe in a dififerent tune," but they tell him to be on his way. He pipes again and this time all the children of Hamlin follow him. He leads them to a mountain which opens to receive them. Thus the people of Hamlin were punished for not keeping their promise. Both grown-ups and children will enjov this film immcnsclv.
