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 Oue- Benediction. The grand session opened Tuesday morning at McIntyre Gymnasium. Risie.v high school.
