From the Southern California estate sale of a silent film collector! Very hard to find original silent film movie theater herald for MOLLY ENTANGLED. 

"And if you love auld Ireland, you'll love "Molly Entangled." It's like an Irish melody, sweet, refreshing and bubbling over with happiness. Molly Entangled is a story of flowing hayfields, spreading shade trees, cooing doves and the love of a colleen for her brawny "broth of a boy." It is a happy tale filled with Irish wit, Irish joviality and good fellowship. It was Vivian Martin's Irish blue eyes and open smile that won for her the part of Molly. As we see the picture unfold, we feel it must have been such girls as Molly who caused the Irish to write so many beautiful melodies. Although he tries his best to be a villain, G. S. Spaulding in the part of Jim Barry, turns out to be a hero at the end of the play. It is he who unites Molly and her strapping Barney for better or for worse. It is he who relieves the pain and anguish she has been suffering as a result of a wedding pronounced by a priest at the hour of midnight. But, you will have to see dainty Vivian Martin in the part to really enjoy it."
