THE Broscore, OcTOBER 30, 1913.
441
a
the dreams of one’s youth, inspired by marvellous posters of dragons and wizards, but never realised in the old-fashioned pantomimes, are materialised here to perfection. We have a fearful monster, breathing flames and dating from the stone age; a beautiful flight of a little white balloon through a spfendid real cloudland; and numerous other fantastic sensations of a similarly pleasing nature.
The film is acted almost entirely by a company of the cleverest children, and, although there is, perhaps, a trifle too much dancing, it is mever for a second dull or unconvincing. It is an entertainment in which the kiddies will glory, and is sufficiently attractive to enthrall their parents, too. (Cricks and Martin, Limited. Released December 1st. Two reels.)
