Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 255, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 October 1916 — “Where Are My Children?” At Princess Theatre Tonight. [ARTICLE]
“Where Are My Children?” At Princess Theatre Tonight.
“Where Are My Children?” the great sermon against race suicide, which will be shown at the Princess theatre tonight, bids the women who refuse motherhood on the plea that children are a responsibility and a care, stand forth and answer the charges against her. In doing this it makes use of certain timely incidents^— he arrest of a physician who circulated birth control literature, the familiar snare of the seducer, and the pitfalls confronting the' young, whose ignorance and curiosity are her weakness. - ISent-to physician- who makes a business of malpractice, this young woman is not so fortunate as the married woman w’ho gave her the address, and dies as a result of the operation. Dying, she confesses. The physician is arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in prison. During his trial certain of his records fall into the hands of the district attorney, whose wife is one of those who shirks her responsibilities. “Where Are My Children?” is to be classed with the educational films, rather than with those of frivolous fiction and exciting adventure. The Rexall drug stores, 8,000 in number, of which B. F. Fendig’s drug store is one, have been taking a ballot of their customers and have already recorded the political views of over 2,500,000 voters drawn from all walks of life. Before the election the name of the president-elect will be announced in all the Rexall stores and the straw’ vote published simultaneously in the leading newspapers in Unitedi States. -
