No. 95, 8.15. THIS EVENING 8.15. Gladys Brockwell IN 6 99 I. EN A Heart grippine, Thrilling Western Story of a Mother’s Supreme Sacrifice. Stoned Out Os The Village Because she lived alene with her baby son and took no one into her confidence, Jane Croft was lcoked upon by the peov'e of Silver Crook as a thing unelean and indecent. The ‘‘Sage Hen’’, they called her and drove her, with sticks and stones, from the village. WHO SINS MOST —THE WOMAN WHO ERRS OR THOSE WHO STONE HER? I7 you admire a womar’s lone fight against narrow minds and snarp tongues then come and see ‘‘'The Sage Hen’. Like A Tigrees She Fights When Her Loved Ones Are Atracked. Deep down in every woman’s soul is ker feeling fer her home, her honor, her child. Be she an outeast, with the stigm=> >f an "'unclean thing’ to her name, this un- quenchable spark of glorious motherhood s alert to burst in flame. In the breast of “The Sage Hen’’ was the throbbing heart of the Eternal Mother, Bt they knew not what they dill when they stoned her, for she was the whitiest, gamest and cleanest among them. Gladys Brockwell as “*The Sage Hen’’ is a heroie, tragic ficure who will elutch your beart and make it beat like 2 speedometer. The play rises to heights of unsurpassed emotion. It grips. It sways. It holds you spellbound. It is like a swelling symphony of heart-pulling music, whose unforgetable melody is MOI'HER-LOVE. ; : It is the greatest Compliment to Al Mothers.
