A story so simple and so direct. and
so human and so deeply tender must
win for itself a lasting success. If
all pictures were like The Old Nest"

We doubt if ever the screen has had

binary a masterpiece. contrived from
simple. everyday and almost hum
drum fragments into complete and de-
finite emotion.
