MOODY PICTURE HAS NOBLE
THEME
1.-The Faith Healer" Based OH Theory
of Divine Power in Affairs Of Men

Popular" night this Thursday at s
O'Clock. Especial for children at )

The play upon which the picture
is founded. was written by William
Vaughn Moody and proved highly
successful.
The story concerns a young shop
herd who feels the divine call to go
forth and heal the sick and suffering.
When he is at the height of his
work, love enters his life. and with
the birth of his passion he feels his
divine power waning. He is on the
point of renouncing his mission
when it dawns upon him that love
is a gift of God. and that he can
entertain pure love for the girl
and at the same time go on with
his work With this comes a return
of his healing power and a renewed
conservation to his work, aided by
the girl. who also devotes her life
to the mission.
The title role is portrayed by Mil
ton Stills. Ann Forest is Rhoda Will

plays Mary Beeler. the invalid and
others of Importance are Frederick
