Read What the Most Noted Critics Say About
"Womanhood, the Glory Of the Nation"
PHILADELPHIA Evening Ledger:

Philadelphia Evening Ledger:
'Womanhood, at the Chestnut
Street Opera house for three weeks,
is about four times as interesting as
The Battle Cry of Peace and four
times four times as handsome in
visual appeal, In realistic sense, in
dramatic value"
Philadelphia Public Ledger:
More forceful than The Battle Cry
Of Peace is 'Womanhood' now at
the Chestnut Street Opera house.
All in all, the best propaganda pic
ture which has yet been shown"
Philadelphia Inquirer:
'Womanhood' is perhaps the most
wonderful of the many great screen
productions of recent date, marvel
GUS in its realism, surprising in its
newness, daringly thrilling in the
telling of the story"
Philadelphia Bulletin:
AN impassioned plea for American
Preparedness, produced in a man
ner which promises to make it
success among presentations OF the
ment and as revelation of the
dangers that beset this nation"
Philadelphia Record:
There is a plea for preparedness
in 'Womanhood.' but this is in great
part through the story itself, and
the film is not preachment in the
usual manner of propaganda. Won
derfully realistic battle scenes, ex-
cellence of photography, and many
unusual effects combine to give this
picture foremost position among
pretentious and important produc
tons for the screen"
New York Evening journal:
'Womanhood' is film of the hour.
1t is needless to mention the cast, as
they are all stars, acting to perfec-
ton. Practically every important
government official, men notable in
public life for their efforts in the
cause of preparedness, and every
army and navy officer stationed in
the East, attended the opening per-
Torrance last night at the Broad
way Theatre"

Fifteen hundred American men and
women were aroused to enthusiasm
last night at the Broadway Theatre
at the premier of 'WomanhOod.' They
threw convention aside and yelled,
stamped and cheered during some
of the more stirring moments of the
play. 'Womanhood' is a decided tri-

view. The battle scenes have even
more power than those in The Bat

you can say that you have seen

commonplace movie, but an appeal

on romantic lines"
New York American:
'Womanhood' differs from most
military plays in that instead of
containing several thrills, it is one
ring spectacle. Throughout, there
runs a beautiful love story The
technical work of the film has been
exceliently managed"
New York Tribune:
Great outburst of patriotism at

the first propaganda picture to

New York World:
Because of its patriotic appeal and
timeliness. there is no question that
'Womanhood,' at the Broadway The

popularity all over the country. Its
battle scenes are of marvellous pic

from the beginning of the human race.
and It Is generally considered probable
that the first receptacle for this purpose
was made from the skin Of an animal.
This was removed with as little mutt

Bible In the much quoted dictum relat-

was that the skin Of an old bottle has

it the pressure Of the gases generated
by the continued fermentation of the
wine would burst the bottle.
