"THE BLOT"

The story that will touch your sense of pity, your sense of shame will batter down the protecting wall that surrounds your conscience. It will be the much" talked of picture of the entire season. It has been discussed in pulpits, in newspaper editorials, in all the streets and byways of the big cities all over the world. THE BLOT" is a story of love and loyalty: a story of sacrifice; a story, of the depths and the heights a story of courage and humility-and an overwhelming drama of pride.,
