“MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKENS”
I - i | The contrasting romance of two f | beautiful sisters during a family’s j | f struggle for happiness form the | j j basis of "Mother Carey’s Chick- f | ens,” a rousing picturisation of the I : immortal family portrait by Kate | I Douglas Wiggin. The down-lo- j > j earth sentiment and rich American - I i lore which endeared "Little Wo- I | f men” to millions of screen-goers | > | | are prominent in "Mother Carey’s j i j | Chickens.” ij j The story revolves around the f j 2 efforts of a New England mother | I f and her four children lo rchabili- I I talc themselves in the face of near- j ■ I poverty caused by the fathers | ’ j * death. Added conflict ensues when I f j ] the two sisters fall in love with j' I ! the same man, and when an mi- | ’ ! | scrupulous couple seek to obtain * “i i their hard-won "dream house.” J [ ! |
