Charlie Chaplin in Walt Disney‘s „Mickey‘s Polo Team,“

New York 1936
& Modern Times Scene
& Mickey to Premiere
With Chaplin Film
Accompanying the showing of Charlie Chaplin in „Modern
Times,“ opening at the Rivoli Theatre next Wednesday
evening, „Mickey‘s Polo Team,“ the newest Mickey Mouse
production from the studios of Walt Disney, will also
have its world premiere.
The arrangement of the program will give moviegoers
the unusual opportunity of seeing Chaplin in two
films, since the screen‘s foremost comedian also has a role
in the Mickey Mouse production. Chaplin is seen
as a member of a polo quartet that includes Harpo Marx,
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Opposing this
aggregation is a team consisting of Mickey Mouse, Donald
Duck, The Goof and the Big Bad Wolf.

Deviating from a rule against reviewing a short in a series,
such as the Mickey Mouses, this particular subject
is highlighted because it augurs unusual b.o. potentialities.
In „Mickey‘s Polo Team,“ Disney has perhaps the top
of the Mickey Mouse series to date.
Hollywood notables comprise the rival teams and
personalities in the stands. There are some fine
satiric moments as regards the ribbing of the stars in the
audience. The teams comprise Laurel and Hardy,
Donald Duck, Harpo Marx, Charlie Chaplin, the Big Wolf and,
of course, Mickey. Jack Holt is the umpire. The steeds
resemble their riders and the Technicolor is ultra.
The comedy antics of this animated cartoon are perhaps
the most raucous and ribald yet, with laugh piling upon
laugh. Again it‘s manifest how fast growing is the vogue of
Donald Duck, the volubly irate gander who bids fair
to par Mickey as Disney‘s favorite creation.
Coupled with the world premiere of the Chaplin picture, this
short more than sustained its quota of entertainment. Abel.
