NEW FILM-"THE : CHILD. ■ CITY"
COMING TO PALMER
"TEE CHILD CITY" is a-film-that 'ill tug
at your heart strings. It is the -story
of the miniature city of mooseheart,spread
over 1200 acres of beautiful rolling prai
ie in northern Illinois, operated and
maintained by the Loyal Order of Moose for
the care, welfare and training of'children
who have lost one or both parents. Sit,
this is no dull film of institutional life
Rather, it is a feature length production
of great dramatic impact, the story of the
courageous fight of a dying man, an aver
age American, to hold long enough to the
cord of life to satisfy himself that his
children'will receive their nonndl oppor
tunities. This average American, Jim
T'.'atson, a civil engineer on Take Island,
is found dying in a jungle hospital as a v
result of hardship and malnutrition suf
fered during his Jap imprisonment. He had
been reported dead and his two children
had taken up residence at the Child City
af Mooseheart. The story of Jim Tat Son and
his children is fictional, of course, but
it is not too different from actual cases
on file.
As the great dramatic story unfolds, all
of the natural scenic beauty of Mooseheart
and its modem methods of child care and
welfare are woven into the action.
This extraordinary film will be shown at
the Valley Theatre, under the auspices of
Palmer Lodge No. 793 on May 23. 'The pro
gram will be augmented with several at
tractive attendance awards and
special numbers. Everyone is cordially
invited to witness this wonder film.
