MARGARET FORD, executive sec
4VA rotary of the Travellers Aid So
ciety of the District of Columbia has
written John j. Payette as follows:
At want you to know how much every
worker of the Washington Travellers
Aid Society appreciates the splendid
portrayal given by Miss Fay Francis
in the Warner Bros picture Strand
ed The sympathetic, understanding
manner in which Miss Francis han
dies this role, role which we OF the
Travellers Aid Society live daily, re-
veals, to us at least, why she is
among the really great actresses OF
the screen.
This is the first picture I have
seen that has ever given to the pub
lie a true picture of social work in
any form. Many authors, who have
no understanding of the work done
bv the social worker, are inclined to
caricature any phase of social work
which may appear in their stories.
STRANDED on the contrary, presents
this wonderful star in sympathetic
role which she acts so naturally that
no one can fail to understand Just
what the Travellers Aid means.
81 would like to congratulate War
ner Bros. on a very excellent picture
and incidentally a very fine exposi-
ton of the work of our organization"
