AS A WHOLE Meek sort of comedy offering

fairly interesting but quite improbable DIRECTION Satisfactory; found it a bit difficult to keep the story moving as there isn't
much to it
PHOTOGRAPHY All right

STAR Romps around in a pleasing fashion
though a bit overgrown for a little girl
SUPPORT Thoroughly suitable cast

DETAIL Suffices
CHARACTER OF STORY Girl in love with
aunt's fiance finally "lands" him for herself LENGTH OF PRODUCTION 5,214 feet
In "Don't Call Me Little Girl," Mary Miles Minter's current Realart release, she virtually steals a part away from Constance Talmadge, inasmuch as it requires a strenuous series of vampings in which the heroine steals her aunt's fiance — a part usually as
sociated with the bob-haired comedienne. Miss Minter is pleasing as the mischief-maker even if she does appear a bit overgrown as the "little girl." Probably that's why she insists upon not being called that.
Catherine C. Cushing's story served as a si, vehicle for Billie Burke and played under the title of "Jerry." .It might have been an entertaining play, but there aren't sufficient real situations to carry it bver as a five reel picture. There are a few good incidents that draw some laughs, hut between times the interest lags badly and you wait for something to happen. The director has made an effort to pad it out, but the lapses are too long and the good hits too few and far apart. This is especially noticeable in the "in and out" business, of which there is too much.
( )ne feature of the development which might he considered effective is the manner in which the conclusion is kept dark. While you probably expect the girl to win the fiance for herself, still various occurrences lead you off the track and you don't know just how it will turn out. Those who appear in support of the star are well suited to their roles.
Mrs. Doubleday and her young daughter, Jerry, come to visit Aunt Joan who is finally to be married to Monty Wade after an engagement of ten years. Jerry is a firm believer in love at first sight and Monty is her victim. Then follow a series of strenuous efforts in which Jerry vamps Mont) over to her side, and at the same time she induces Peter Flagg, an old admirer of Joan's, to push his case. As a last resort Jerry pulls a fake suicide and Monty admits he loves her, while Aunt Joan seems perfectly satisfied with Peter.
