“MOTHER MACHREE”
BELLE BENNETT STARRED Belle Bennett, one of the most popular chaxacter actresses on the screen, is admirably cast for the maternal part in “Mother Machree,” Fox Films’ version of Rida Johnson Young’s song and story of mother-love. Miss Bennett, who won international fame by her unforgettable performance in “Stella Dallas,” brings to this sweetest of Irish stories, a broad human sympathy and a full complement of mother love, drawn from the recesses of her own soul. Studio critics have pronounced her present characterisation on© of the most touching roles she has ever attempted. Humour and pathos are adroitly blended in a swiftly-moving plot which reaches a climax when Miss Bennett is confronted with the necessity of claiming or rejecting her own son. The Irish scenes and sequences are faithfully reproduced, as many of the backgrounds were filmed in Galway.
