drama. The characters are drawn
from the every day life OF Americans

and the staging unsurpassed so far in
the moving picture world. II is a
great human story told of people with
rich red blood in their veins, facing
supreme difficulties and fighting with
sublime or demoniac fierceness as
well as patience to maintain their posi-
tions in the world-old struggle for
