' “THE MIRACLE WOMAN.”

“The Miracle Woman” is a delicate subject certainly, delicate in theme and in nature, but fears about the possibility of its offending the susceptibilities of any sect, class or creed can be immediately dispensed with. It is a fearless, daring and startling exposure of the corruption that exists and the mockery that is carried on, but, be advised, it does not mock at true piety or religion; rather it exalts those things; neither is it a religious picture. It is a moving canvas of humanity, human emotions, strongest of which are redemption and love. Barbara Stanwyck and Beryl Mercer are featured'.
