THE MOTION PICTURE MOTHER
By HAZELUAVFARLANE
rrVHE HERO and the heroine must many trials endure; ■^ To be run over, shot and drowned is not a sinecure. Yet, when it comes to suffering, there's not a Picture Queen But yields the palm in agony to Mother of the Screen.
She has to see her Only Boy by Gamblers led astray,
The Villain plot and counterplot to capture Daughter May,
While Father loves to tipple. Oh, that family's mighty
mean To poor, old, white-haired Mother of the Motion Picture
Screen !
The Cruel Landlord turns her out if she can't pay the rent, Or there's a Mortgage on the Farm that eats up ev'ry cent. No sables, pearls, nor Paris gowns, no crested limousine Are owned by sad-eyed Mother of the Motion Picture Screen.
Behold her as she "registers" that look of patient woe (No candidate for martyr's crown has ever suffered so), While down her furrowed cheek slow fall those tears of
glycerine That are wept by tortured Mother of the Motion Picture
Screen.
