THE OLDNEST''

In "The Old Nest, Goldwyn gives
the public something it has been wait
ing for since the birth of motion pic
lures. Rupert Hughes story is the
first sincere and realistic treatment of
the most sacred and beautiful of all
themes-a mothers love for her chill
dren.
The background upon which this
drama unfolds is the simple old-fash-
Toned home of typical American
family.
The incidents that transpire in this
atmosphere; the rearing of the brood
from babyhood to full growth, the
fight from the old nest, and the sud-
den happy Homecoming of the flock
are so unerringly true to life that one
is constantly assailed by the shock
of memories long hidden beneath the
dust of years.
At the Aston Theatre, where "The
Ole Nest" played a limited engage
ment, the audience made no attempt
to hide it's emotions. Harriette I'm
derhill, in the New York Tribune, said !:
When the final reel was unreeled and
the light went up we put our hat on
hurriedly so that no one would see
that we had ben crying, and then we
looked around and every one was cry
ing so it didn't matter.
And the tears are intermingled with
laughter, for Rupert Hughes has put
scenes of indescribably delicious hui
NOR into the story.
Reginald Barker is responsible for
the direction. He has followed the
story closely, and developed the char
acters until each is Clearly cut por-
trait. Mary Alden's performance of
the mother is conceded by the critics
to be the finest single piece of acting
in a character role that the screen
has ever known.
