Madeline is scared neither of mice nor of tigers, and she is mischevious. Midway through the film she comes down with appendicitis and is rushed to the hospital. She receives flowers and gifts, and shows her scar to the other girls. The film ends with the eleven other girls crying to their matron at night, wishing they could have their appendix out as well.--Peter De Domenico, 6/94.; PFA 1604-01-5257. D0004; PFA 1604-01-5904.

CONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 1994 Jun 13 Peter De Domenico; scratches; sprockets; splices; Good condition: color excellent; scratches heavy at beginning and end, and moderate throughout; sprockets slightly pushed out (went through a projector with different pitch?); sprocket notch at 175 ft.; sound quality good; 19 tape splices within print (see cataloger's inspection report for splice footage points); many splices between 200 and 206 ft., so much so that the missing frames make the dialogue disjointed; tape splices are old and have gaps between frames, so that the film wound under the splices are sticking to the tape; no edge code
