CLASS 8 — Dramas 163
terest, such as the rider with the pardon to save the falsely accused spy at the last moment, are convincingly staged and acted, and only the most critical of audiences will fail to be moved by the action, which has many good moments. The tale moves swiftly and is exciting at all times. Moreover, it is carefully appointed as to Colonial dress and scenes and the large number of exteriors required are well chosen. Picturesque interiors have been furnished.
Alice Brady, as the patriotic Betsy Ross, appears in an emotional role, and is entirely satisfactory. The principal support is in the hands of John Bowers, Lillian Cook, and Frank Mayo, all of whom are well cast. In addition, George MacQuarrie in make-up and in acting is excellent as George Washington.
"Betsy Ross" is recommended for all. Its patriotic theme and Revolutionary setting will appeal especially to young Americans.

8009 Code SABUR The Heart of a Hero World
Featuring Robert Warwick and Gail Kane
A visualization of the Life of Nathan Hale, founded on the play, "Nathan Hale," by Clyde Fitch.
"The Heart of a Hero," a story which once seen will never be forgotten. Founded on the events we never tire of hearing and reading about, it describes the dangers and worries of those brave soi:ls who made possible our present day prosperity. It begins at the peaceful New England schoolhouse where Nathan Hale is engaged. The industrious people of the time are pre-sented at work and play. Then rapidly the action changes and the dissension with England begins to assume large proportions. We are now carried through the days when to pledge allegiance to the Colonists meant practically gambling away one's life. The success of their perseverance is responsible for our present preeminence as a Nation. Though showing extensively the events which transpired, the play follows chiefly the life of Nathan Hale up to the point where he rendered his immortal speech, "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country."
The story is full of self-sacrifice. Robert Warwick makes of Nathan Hale a character you will always remember. His sweetheart, Alice, as played by Gail Kane, will have your entire sympathy and admiration for her devotion both to him and to her country's cause.
Her pride of over a century ago is shared today by all true Americans. Nathan Hale is a character which will always be an inspiration to his countrymen to accomplish "big things."
Were it not for just such noble patriots as Nathan Hale, the present day United States would not be in existence. You will be given an opportunity to see just how great were the hardships our forefathers had to undergo in order that today we might be a free nation.
