IPUBEDIIEStll ^ BARRY NORTON ALBERT GRAN ^,. IfCIEfl LITTIEEIELD ^yill^l ^jyj^tor/byEDNAFERbtR. ALoveHungiy StageStarCutstheApronStringsofHer Managing Mam» With mother love as its background — a sublime, enduring, unfaltering devotion of a strong-willed mother for her child *s future — and blinded by an overmastering, consuming passion to some day lift that child to the very highest pinnacle of fame on the stage— "MOTHER KNOWS BEST" unfolds an epic story of life behind the footlights with a thrilling dramatic intensity and realism seldom portrayed upon stage or screen. Mother love never burned more brightly in a human breast than in the heart of "Ma Quail". But love sometimes burns so fiercely that it consumes itself or the object of its affection. With Madge Bellamy as "Sally Quail" and Louise Dresser as "Ma Quail", you witness in "MOTHER KNOWS BEST" the most human, most poignant characterizations that the screen has revealed in years. This amazing and all too true story of stage life is fascinating, absorbing and entertaining. Watch for it at your favorite theatre and by all means see it.
