"WOMANH0OD" R0USES
SPIRIT OF BEMIDJI

"Womanhood, the Glory of the
Nation" was presented by Manager
Whaley at the Elko last night for the
first of two days showings, cooper
ating with the local chapter of the
Red Cross, and large audiences ruled.
Tonight will close the picture with
two showings.
"Womanhood, the Glory of the Ma
tion," should create twice the stir
that was created by "The Battle Cry
of Peace" The picture is bigger,
better and the story with it's patriot
ism taken away would still be soul
inspiring.
The cast of other big spectacles of
this sort do not compare with the
cast of "Womanhood, the Glory of
the Nation" These names-Alice
Joyce, Harry Morey, Naomi Child
ers, James Morrison, Joseph .Kilgonr,
Peggy Hyland, Bobby Connolly, Wal
ter McGrail, Edward Elkas, Templar
SAKE and thousands of others go to
make this the greatest cast ever ap-
pearing in any photoplay.
The aim of "Womanhood" is the
exaltation of patriotism, the neces-
sity Of preparedness. the compelling
power of self-sacgifice, especially
among the women Of America in this
troubled and anxious time
This wonderful masterpiece of
camera craft, written by J. Stuart
Blackton and Cyrus Townsend Brady,
and produced under the personal di-
rection and supervision of Commo-
dore Blackston, is more than a mo-
tion picture spectacle. 1t is a clar-
ion call for the preservation of these
United States by awakening within
the breast of each individual the
realization of the needs of the ma
tion for a greatly augmented arma-
ment and that true spirit of patriot
ism, which, spreading from heart to
heart, makes that wonderful, un-
conQuerable thing called national
spirit.
