“Something Human” Under the above liradinj Ur, Frank x Crane, famous writer, essayist, author , and lecturer, published a copyrighted editorial in the New York Evening Globe and many other papers throughout the country, after seeing "Humoresque.” The following excerpts are reproduced by permission of Dr. Crane: As we go up and down the ways of this busy age, the thing that makes us stop and wonder, the thing that is like the discovery of hidden treasure or a pearl of great price, is Something Human. I have just seen two whopping human treasures. One is the writing about Mexico by Ibanez. The other is a motion picture entitled “Humoresque," based on a story by Fannie Hurst. The real star of this movie is the Jewish mother, performed by Vera Gordon, who is not starred at all on the program, and of whom I have never heard. I have no hesitation in saying that it is the most remarkable and appealing characterization I have etfer seen upon the screen. She is the incarnation of what, after all, is the mdst interesting type in all the world —a mother. She is the most perfect representation of motherhood I have ever seen. The art of the thing is unconscious. Somehow the spectator feels that neither the writer of the play, nor the director of the film paqduction, nor the actors themselves, really intended toao-the smashing thing ■they have done. \ There ate' all manner of tongues, customs, tastes and divergences among human beings, but the one strong red cord that binds them forever together is Motherhood. And this is the truest, deepest business of the theater; to reveal to us our humanity, to show us strange types, and how, after all, they are not strange at all. Most books are written, most plays are tinkered up. Once in a while a story is born, not made. ‘‘Humoresque’’ was born and don’t forget that the greatest figure in it is the Jewish mamma.
