And yet. as one is apt to ask why
is all this greatness. there Is no stu

that make "Over the Hill" the
epoch-making photoplay that II is.
The secret Of IL all lies in the fact
that It is a tale OF home and mother
the story that viii Carleton told
so simply in his poems from which
the picture is adapted.
