THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 22. 1917, WOMANHOOD GIVES NEW ANGLE TO WAR Film of Unusual Quality to Be Shown at Strand Next Week. ITS FEATURES CONVINOB Perhaps the most vivid battle icenei ever filmed will be offered to Strand audiences for the week of April 29, when "Womanhood, the Glory of Nation," the soul-stirring patriotic spectacle by J. Stuart Blackton, will be presented. A notable east will be seen in the production, which Includes Harry Morey, Alice Joyce, Peggy Hyland, Naomi Childers, Mary (Mother) Maurice and many others who are favorites with the public It is being released through the Greater Vitagraph, which also produced "The Battle Cry of Peace," and although this in itself was a wonderful preach ment for preparedness, it cannot be compared to this latest and greatest of all patriotic pictures. It was taken in conjunction with the United States army and navy, and wherever shown has aided much , in obtaining recruits for this country. , . Will House Audience. It has often been said that Omaha audiences are "cold" and unresponsive but if during the unfolding of the story they do not raise to their feet many times and cheer it will surely be strange, for it shows this country actually invaded and in control of a foreign foe and how America finally rallies and "licks them to a frazzle. This foreign foe is disguised under the name of Ruritania, but can be recog nized tove meant for Germany. If there are any slackers and they see this picture of events that might happen, if they have a drop of good old Yankee blood in their veins it will come to the front if it ever does. Some Moments of Power. One of the most tragic moments in the entire visualization is when a girl is stood up against a brick wall and shot down before thousands of people. Other great moments are Theodore Roosevelt making a rousing patriotic ipeech, New York being bombarded from the sky, with Zeppelins hovering above, gas attacks as conducted on the battlefields reproduced with fidelity to actual conditions, a new invention the aerial torpedo, the heroine of a nation kidnaped by the enemy in an aeroplane, President Wil son delivering an oration to a vic torious nation, and sights that will so impress themselves on your mind that they will never be forgotten. Woman's Answer Here. It is the reply which the American woman makes to those who would betray or despoil her flag. It por trays the three great loves of a wom an's life, the love of a maid for a man, the love of a mother for her child, and the love of a woman for her country. Aside from being a patriotic spec tacle, the story which is interwoven throughout is gripping enough that it would alont hold you in a gripping tenseness. Pauline Frederick hows Her Real Talent as Mother Those who have followed Pauline Frederick's film career will note the wide range of subjects and characters her work has covered. While there is no doubt about the act that Miss Frederick's best work is dona in heavy emotional types of pictures, still the fact remains that tins gittea actress of the screen possesses a scopa seldom nnaled. For instance, she has played an old woman in "The Moment Be fore," a wild young girl in "Audrey," an adventuress in "The World's Great Snare, a quiet, home-loving woman in "The Woman-in the Case," again , a young girl, but this time a sus pected Shoplifter, in "Ashes of Em- Filmland Favorites J Xfj Marguerite Snow, who in private life is Mrs. James Cruze, is one of the screens brilliant stars.

Sur'ratt in Show That Does Not Call For Fancy Gowns At last the almost impossible has happened. Valeska Suratt, famed throughout the world as the "Em press of Fashion," appears in a film drama without wearing an array of gowns which would stock a modiste's shop.

Miss Suratt ap pears only in the beautifully simple nntvino- 4f-anr!i. rf anin, Pnnl But here she reveals that same artist tic skill which has made her modern creations famous the world over. Miss Suratt personally chose the rare silks of which the draperies were made, and with characteristic love of variety wears during She as many different varieties of draperies as she does gowns in her photoplays of modern life. "She" will be the attraction at the Sun theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and great things are ex pected by Manager Goldberg from the production, as Lester Sturm, local manager of the Fox Film corporation, is just in receipt of a telegram from W. R. Sheehan, general manager of this concern, stating that he had just witnessed a pre-review of "She" and he considered it to be the moat won derful Valeska Suratt picture they had thus far produced, and that any one showing this picture could boost it strong, and they or their patrons would not be disappointed.
