Surprise! It's Not Awful

[boblipton · 5/10 · 8 October 2023]

Mickey Maguire Himself and the the other children put on a show in school for their sissy teacher and Fern Emmet, who's there for some reason.

This is the second sound film in the Mickey Maguire series, and like the first (MICKEY'S MIDNIGHT SHOW), it uses the second half to have the show itself. Although there is plenty of awkwardness, because that's the point of this sort of movie in the Our Gang series and its imitators, there is some decent dancing, and if the children are playing the musical instruments, they are pretty good.

If there's any interest in these Mickey Maguire shorts, it's because they starred Mickey Rooney.

This one's a Stinker as well (Spoiler)

This is another bad one in this this GREAT SERIES! i don't know IF this would be considered a spoiler or not but it just has The Gang in school again. so far this is the 2nd episode that i've seen them in school! this one & (1927)'s "Mickey's In School" THAT one is a "CLASSIC"! THIS one isn't. it has them putting on some kind of play. & for me is Quite boring. IMDb has Billy Barty listed in the credits but he's nowhere to be seen in this one. they had no need for him is my guess. since he's normally in the out of school shorts they had no need for him in this one. so for those who keep track of "Billy Barty's" movies he's NOT in this one folks.
