Mother" is a problem play and deals
with n of the most important ques-
tions of the day, and that is, what is
to become of the war babies and un-
married mothers that are left behind? ?
In the play the story has to do with
a young girl who, in order to relieve
the destitute wants of her aged mother,
sells her soul to gain the bare necessi-
ties of life. She loves not wisely, but
too well and, of course, there is the
ultimate end-she is left with a name
less baby. 1t is here that the author
maintains and shows that the legal
stigma of disgrace should be lifted
from the innocent children born out
Of wedlock. The title role is enacted
by Leila Nelson, an actress who, late
ly. forsook the screen drama for the
speaking stage. Miss Nelson Is sur
rounded by a strong cast Of metropol-
itan players and a most elaborate
scenic production.
