TIIK SILVER CORD
Allen C edit-4riu.nl. Wednesday,
March 13h?At 8 O'clock P. M.?
"The Silver Cwd," drama by
"Sidney HoVv^Td7~ITnd "produced by
French" is an intensely interest- .
ing story of a mother and her love
for her children. Having J>rot
them into the world, this mother
at onpe begins to buy the souls
of her offspring with her selfishness.
She is the mother whij devours
bei- ybung with mother-love: -In
this case, an her children^two boys,
develop, she weights them
down?with the?burden?of?their birth.
"She reminds them of tho
pain sho has suffered and of the
"sacrifices she has omtllred for their
sake-s, eternally pointing, out to
,i a,. .i^Kt
they owe to her! They are en- "
^slaved; buand to her in body and ,
soul. Never does she set them
freel " . ' /
'The Silver Cord" portrays the
sort of mother-love which demands
to be paVcl and" pnTcTr" In tHe~person
of Mrs. Phelps, this mother
ruins the romance of one of her
sdhs nearly u rocks?tin* maiiiage of
the other. The tragic part vTf
it being that her sotts do not realize
that they have grown' into
mere echoes, instead of mcn-.-4*eith
e.r do they see thro their mother's
extreme steHishnesSn. but feel sincerely
that she is the ideal woman
and mother that she has taught
them to believe her to be.
A's Dorothy Dix would say, Mrs,
Phelps has the "crushing rnlmppoly
complex," one who cheerfully
plasters the prison pallompOh the
minds ancTcharaeters of her child
ren. Using for this terrible etime,
"tlUY"Hi'irr failing weapon -of -moth- er-love!
As a mothor, Mrs. Phelps is a
(Warning of> the kind?not to be.
Laughable, pathetic and tingling
with heart interest, "The Silver
Cord" is a play surre t'o be enjoytuulmii'
tu bu rtmiL'iiibiiJLL'd lung ~
after its pro<luction.
By all means see it. It is delightfully
different:
