'''''"Miss Sherlock Holmes."''' - An interesting detective story, in which the little girl plays the pan of a Sherlock Holmes and succeeds in convincing her father tint she ought to marry the man she loves, and slu- dues it in a unique way. Perhaps the real criminal had a chance to figure out whathe gained before he was released from the vault The photography and acting are good and the film works smoothly.''<br />
