The popular appeal of Once 10
Every Woman" is heightened be-
cause it deals with everyday people
and treats of a theme that is as u
as humanity. Mother love Is It's
keynote, and it shows the utter van
ity of worldly ambition when not
founded on human affection.
Miss Phillips first appears as a
school girl, the daughter of q village
blacksmith, who, because of her
good looks and sweet voice, is the
pet of the family. She accepts the
sacrifices of her parents and sisters,
and when a visitor from New 1ork
offers to send her abroad to nave
her voice trained she leaves nome
with no regrets.
After many dramatic episodes she
finally reaches the goal of her ambi-
tion-the creation of the t role

shock causes the loss of her voice.
Her new-found friends and admir
ers leave her. In her mothers great
love she finds real happiness at last.

other members of the notable cast
