REVIEW OF
! THE PLAY
! “THE HEARTH OF HUMANITY.”
In the iront lines of the battle-
; fields of Europe, men hurled death
and destruction upon each other,
i causing loss of limb, of life, blind
ness, ruin of heart and lung. And
just a few thousand yards behind
the lines, the women of all the
, world, as Red Cross workers, tended
friend and the foeman alike, regen
erating the fallen, giving them fresh
spirit and life, “rebuilding their
brains,’’ as a director said the other!
, day- I
, Day upon day dawned and faded (
. into the calendar of night and in the j
armies of Europe, men suffered their -
wounds and their thoughts to take.
possession of them while in the :
homes of their wives and sweet- ,
hearts, as in the homes of America, i
men and women cried aloud for a re- I
lief.
Then came still another day, when
the United States called up her sons
and sent them out to die; the day
when an Irish-American, wearing a
tiny silken flag upon his breast, car
■ ried into a European battle a new
force, a new cheer, as Pat O’Malley
goes “over the top.”
And the suffering, the heart-ache
of the women of the world was in
creased a thousand fold. The wom
en themselves did not realize the pro
cess of change within them; they
felt only a great fear and- a glorious
renunciation. Back of all this feel
ing, this fearing, the “mother heart”
of all woman-kind was slowly assert
> ing itself, forcing them to leave their
[ children, their mothers, their sisters,
! and their small brothers, that they
might minister to the sterner sex
that fought for an exalted cause.
Upon the fields of death was reap-I
ed a new harvest by the Red Cross,!
a harvest for those yet to be, for
out of the suffering and the sacrifice
of the soldiers and the women war
workers, arose a co-operation of j
spirit, of ideas, thoughts, actions.!
that was undreamed.
This was the dominant story in •
J | “The Heart of Humanity,” Allen
> Holubar’s spectacular war film J
drama, with Dorothy Phillips in the ■
' ] leading role, which was seen at the '
Opera House last night and this af
ternoon, and will be seen again to-
1 night at 8 o’clock.
| “The Heart of Humanity” is a big
picture, full of thrills, pathos and
heart-gripping situations. If you are '
for the super-picture, and the sense
( of the tremendous which cannot be
shown on the stage, you’ll like “The
Heart of Humanity.”
