Christmas Visions in a Torn World Scene
In a Minneapolis Times excerpt the director Blatz witnesses a violinist Cole playing a dying man’s memory of his angel daughter through sorrowful to uplifting tones. The old man collapses, words fade, yet the performance reveals love, sacrifice, and a father’s memory as two strangers provide a Christmas shroud for dying lives.

The piece shifts to a testimonial about Dr King’s New Discovery from James Jones of Jones & Son, Cowden Illinois, praising its effect on his wife’s grip on a deadly illness.
