This new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film is acclaimed as another triumph for the inimitable Rooney. As a typical American Boy in England’s most exclusive school. Mickey has some of the most hilarious scenes of his Him career, and sorfle of the most dramatic. While Mickey is his usual brilliant self as ■'The Yank," Freddie Bartholomew, playing in his fifth picture with Rooney, also is outstanaing. Now a lull head taller than Mickey, he is j hard to recognise as the little boy who once starred in “David Copperfield.”
