The Greatest Production Ever Filmed To Open At The Peautiful Air Conditioned Melody
AND ON THE STAGE IN PERSON THE WORLDS
FASTEST HUMAN, NONE OTHER THAN OUR
OWN JESSE OWENS LEUTUHING ON SOCIAL
AND MORAL HYGIENE
PLEASE NOTE: The Management of this Theatre
believes if has two basic obligation* to accomplish . . .
First, to entertain <ls Patrons and Second, to perform
a Public Service. It is in the interest of public ser¬
vice (hat we present this significantly vital motion
picture.
Oat of Hollywood nines an entirely new kind of
show. Clean, Moral, I rank and honest in its superb
treatment of today's most vital subjects. So hold il*
shocking! So human you'll laugh and cry! So won¬
derful you'll be lucky to get in!
Today, growing boy* and girl* must be told the
truths—taught the fact*! Millions are wrecking
their health and lives through silly ignorance and
simply because the facts of life are kept a secret Hat
now Hollywood has produced a picture that will open
everybody’s eyes. It pulls no punches.
A great percentage of human being* think they
know all they need about delinquency and social dis¬
eases and are smug in their belief that these arc
problems which will never touch them. Rut here is
a picture which will give every thinking person food
for thought.
“Mom and Dad.” is a simple story and its very
simplicity serves to bring home its lesson Hie more
forcefully. What happens to “Mom and Dad's”
daughter, Joan, has happened to million* of daugh¬
ters. It isn't necessary to live on the wrong side of
the tracks in order to experience the heartaches and
pain which this family experienced.
Here is a film which offers entertainment—p’u>
a great moral lesson. It i* the story of an average
American family. The pathos and humor of then
everyday life is portrayed in an entertaining but be¬
lievable manner. Life for them mo\es along day
to day much as it does in most middle or better class
families until one day tragedy strikes! Tragedy that
could have been avoided if Joan and her Mother had
been privileged to view a film a* frank and truthf jl
as “Mom and Dad.”
Unlike most, the producer* of “Mom and I)ad“
did not stop merely with telling a story. They in¬
troduced solutions to the problems the story port rays.
This is done through some powerful, new up-to-date
medical sequences, which are woven into the storv.
In addition, the producers of “Mom and Dad” bring
to the stage of the Melody Theatre. Jesse Owens
the pride of the colored race and the world’s sensa¬
tional star, lecturing on social and moral hygiene.
Because of the nature of the medical sequences,
performances are .shown to segregated audiences
