“MY WILD IRISH ROSE.”

“My Wild Irish Rose,” the sweetest Power that grows, according to ■.the old. song, is, certainly one oi the nest pictures of the year. It has the atmosphere oi Ireland with its. brogue, ana its shamrocks, its Irish coiiceris —to say nothing oi a fight oi two. xne action, moves, swiltly with nere ,and there a' to-ucn oi laughter which ofisets the tenser momeius oi real drama' in winch Conn, the shaughran, and Robert Ffolliott make tunning escapes. Every member of me cast is a star, and. unlike most picture plays, there is ho particular role which stands out (above the others—each role is different and requires the service of a star in order to interpret it properly. “Mickey” Daniels, the i'reckledest faced hoy m the world, adds much to the humour oi the production, it is a picture that those who have a spot in their being lor Irish romance cannot afford to miss it.
