"IMITATION OF LIFE”
KING'S THEATRE,
11 C
What would you do if you were. widow who had fallen -des- jperately in love for the first time in your life and were planning jon, an early marriage to the man of your heart, only to find that your 16-year-old daughter, ignor ant of the true situation," had fallen no less desperately in love |with the same man?
This is the situation which confronts Claudette Colbert in *Invitation of Life," the Univer- sal John M. Stahl production now the feature picture at the King's Theatre with Miss Colbert in the starring role and Rochelle End- son as her daughter."
Having determined long before that nothing should ever come between herself and her daughter, should the mother nevertheless follow the dictates of her heart) and proceed with her marriage?? Or should mother-love outweigh any other consideration? Should she even give up the man to her? daughter?
