November IL, is a dramatization of
Harold Bell Wright's novel, the
dramatization having been made by
Mr.. Wright and Fishery w. Rey-
nolds.
"The Shepherd of the Hills" is an
intensely spellbinding story Of love,
mystery and heroic daring; it gets a
grip on life and brings peace to the
soul Of any man or woman who reads
it.
The woods and the hills are part of
Gods hand-work. They will give
peace and strength to all who see
them. From this play you may, in
some measure, feel their influence
and know some of the ways of divine
providence.
You will ask Of this story, are the
characters in the play real peo-
pie? Does the old "shepherd' live
only in the pages of the book or on
the stage? Is there a Sammy Lane

they are all very familiar, and you
