Hope the anti tuberculosis play explores cure and prevention
A National Association promotes a film story by James Oppenheim to educate the public on fighting tuberculosis through fresh air and sanitation. The plot follows banker John Harvey and his clerk Wells as Edith, the banker’s love, battles TB, prompting a community movement to fund a sanitarium and sell Red Cross Christmas seals. Edith ultimately accepts treatment, inspiring others to join the campaign and breathe easier.
