The Man Who Forgot presents the greatest National issue of today.  It is the vision of a People awakened, a picture of American Democracy rising triumphant over special interests and party creed, and demanding a Nation wide Prohibition.

The dominating figue throughout is the Man Who Forgot.  Organizing with tireless energy, firing the Nation with his tremendous enthusiasm and inspired vision, John Smith carries on the great fight against the thing that has destroyed all memory of his past, even the knowledge of his own name.

Always this dread of what his past may contain, colors his life with sinister effect.  Through it his political enemies seek his downfall.  It invades his private life and because of it he can not speak to the girl he loves.

The final great scene where thousands from every corner of the land pour into Washington on a given day, and with banners flying and choirs singing, march on to the Capitol, fires the imagination as the crusaders of old.


Prohibition has enabled five million children to go through high school who would not have been able to do so otherwise.—

THE STORY
Washington, D. C.—Five Years Later

To those who cry that prohibition has lost its prosperity argument the answering facts are that the economic depression is world-wide.

Until some one can controvert scientific observations of the effects of alcohol upon the brain, total abstinence is the only sensible course for any one who is not a fool.

—Dr. William Brady




MARGARET STAHL
INTERPRETER OF PLAYS
Miss Margaret Stahl is generally acknowledged one of the foremost dramatic interpreters.  In recreating the plays of modern times for the platform she evinces a very high form of art.  With unusual physical charm, her portrayals have all the virility of a man and the finesse of a woman.  She has the spirit of mental aggressiveness, and the modern grasp of things, intellectual and artistic.

Margaret Stahl has gained a hold upon the public like that of Maud Adams, a hold that goes out entirely beyond her acting and her art, and somehow grips the heart and the imagination by the sheer wonder of the woman.
