Elsie Janis In
Republics New
War-Time Drama
“Women In War”, a timely and
thought - provoking Republic
drama comes to the Dolly Madi
son theatre today and tomorrow.
The story places Miss Janis in
a familiar setting, for 20 years
ago, she played just as dramatic
a role in real life, contributing
songs and dances to the entertain
ment of soldiers overseas, a ser
vice which won her a lasting
place in the hearts of the sol
diers, and the affectionate litle,
“Sweetheart of the A. E. F.”
Miss Barrie, talented and
strikingly beautiful, portrays her
daughter, who is whirled into the
maelstorm of the war and emer
ges physically and emotionally in
tact, thanks to the nursing mat
ron who is prevented by a heart
breaking circumstance from dis
closing her true identity to the
daughter she abandoned as a
baby.
Cinematography by Jack Mar
ta is distinguished in every res
pect, as is the sensitively pictur
ed direction of John H. Auer.
Sol C. Siegel was the associate
producer in charge.
