Are You Fit to Marry?"

Are You Fit to Marry" which is coming to the Columbia theater, has created a division of opinion in homes unequaled by any other film drama ever shown.
 The play, which centers around the refusal of Dr. Harry J. Haiselden, Chicago physician, to allow the de- formed Bollinger baby to live, several years ago. brings up a question re- quiring Solomon-like wisdom to an- swer.
 In several instances, it is reported, mothers have upheld the physician s decision and fathers condemned it (but in the majority, the fathers have been the supporters of the radical action) while the mothers condemned it.
 Are You Fit to Marry" is a grip ping drama which snould' be seen by every woman. for it portrays a prob lem with which every one nowadays is vitally concerned.
