Abraham Lincoln Tuesday, May 12 There are many important points about “Abraham Lincoln” which should be kept in mind. The first and strongest of all is the fact that “Abraham Lincoln” is entertainment. The next important fact is that this picture portrays the life of the greatest man America has ever produced and that the man, who appears as Lincoln, does not play the part but lives it. He is as true in appearance and character to the real Lincoln as a man can be. Moro Schools May Day .
