Know How It Should Be

“A gripping production. Frank

Invitations to the Mother’s day
theater party were printed in The
Constitution* Monday. They went
into homes of “the four hundred”
and into homes of “the four mil
lion’.’ The invitation was accepted
by 1,700 of those invited in the
spirit in which it was tendered, as
a special mark of appreciation
from a great city, through The
Constitution to its most loved and
revered citizens.
In the program no special efforts
was made to feature “motherhood”
to play especially on the sent!
ment around it. The Constitu
tion’s plan was to “show the moth
ers u good time” and to give them
a couple of hours of pleasant
amusement.
It was an excitingly, romantic
picture that was unreeled for the^
unusual audience beginning nt 11
o’clock Monday morning". Conway
Tearle went through'some nerve-
racking situations in order to win
the honors that.were justly his and
to prove his faithfulness to his
wife, despite the wicked machina
tions of nis rival, Cyril Chadwick,
and the innocent indiscretions .of
Betty Compson.
The Mother’s day party fulfilled
its mission in affording the. recrea

provide for its guests.
