Mickey

Lois Butler made her film debut in the title role. She lives with her father and housekeeper Bertha (played by Oscar winner Hattie McDaniel. Of course she plays the maid and perhaps Mickey's mother figure in the story. Mickey is a tomboy who prefers to play baseball than take piano and voice lessons. She tries to set her father up with her neighbor's single aunt because she doesn't like her father's taste in women. This is fine melodrama with decent acting. The writing could be better. The quality of the screen color is poor between black and white and color. It's too dark in some scenes. You can't even tell whether it is black and white or early color. I don't hold it against the film.
