“THE SPY”
(By The Associated Press)
Can the laws regulating mother
love and family life be resulted’
by legislative acts? Will a nation
survive after it has abolished the
moral laws upon which civilized
humanity was founded? These
are the greatissues at stake, up
on which the future of modern
Soviet Russia depends.
In “The Spy,” which opens
Sunday at the Dream Theatre,
Kay Johnson enacts the role of
“Anna,” the mother ft who is forced
to“ see her husband flee the wrath
of the Reds, and her little son.
Freddie, become a wild urchin of
the streets.
Neil Hamilton as “Ivan,” the
husband, is compelled to abandon
his political beliefs, to leave his
beloved wife and little boy, and
to bow to a fate more horrible
than death under the persecution
of John Halliday in his portrayal
of the role of Sergei the spy.
