1.-THE SAGE HEM

At the Vendome Theatre, Sunday
April II, featuring Gladys Brockwell.
They knew not what they did
Perhaps, had they known all, their
hearts might have felt a spark of pity.
But like the lepers of old they cast
her out.
Once again the mother heart suffered.
And as her soul was scared so will your
soul be lifted.
Here is a drama like mighty music.
Its tune is played on your feelings Its
melody is mother love. IS a surgine
symphony of sympathy.
You'll never forget the sage hen.
