EVERYBODY'S.
A BEMARKABLE FILM TO-NIGHT. "SHOULD A BABY DIE?" Sould a hopelessly deformed or mentally affected child be allowed to perish In the interests of the human race? This is the query on which "Should a Baby Die?" is founded. Tht story is ejmple and beautiful, and ttie life of the cripnle child makes an emphatic answer in the negative to the query. In the. words ot the film itself, Love will work miracles, and in the.play the little eripple grows aiter all, into a lovely woman. Arthur Donaldson, who has a record for the number of his famous Btreen impersonations, is well cast as the old Jew pawnbroker who brings up the little girl, and Gazelle Marche is a pleasing heroine. The story is founded on a case which created fever heat excitement in the U.S.A. where a doctor advised a mother to allow a hopelessly deformed child to forego an operation which would have saved its life. The child dieo\ and the doctor was brought before the Medical College, and struck off the medical roil. "Should a Babv Die?" will be screened at Everybody's for two nights only.
