Bought And Paid For"

Said the pessimist: Every woman
has her price," and that much is
true. Those who know life best,
agree that woman's price is, in
most cases, beyond reach.
Rivetted in every woman's soul,
crystallized by the memory of a
good mother, is the foundation of
all that is good in men, and upon
this foundation, immortal heroes
like Washington, Lee, Lincoln,
Grant and our beloved Mckinley.
built the headstone of the greatest
nation in the world. And it was
the mothers Of such men who set an
everlasting standard that has been
the goal towards which motherhood
has since aimed.
George Broadhurst, the great
playwright, knew this when he wrote
Bought and Paid For" the most
successful drama ever produced,
which, after its phenomenal run Of
two and a half years on Broadway,
was successfully staged in every civ
ilized country on the globe.
This great drama has been visual
lied under the able direction of Will
liam A. Brady, who was also re-
sponsible for its international sue
cess on the stage. 1t is one of the
best World pictures.
