The dangers to which they are exposed in street games are graphically illustrated. The gutter games, which are all they have in the way of amusement, are shown. The over-crowded conditions of the districts are shown, and the noise is suggested so vividly that we can almost hear it. Children are seen sleeping on the fire escapes close to the elevated. The contrast comes when the weakly city children are taken by the Christian Herald to the Christian Herald Home at Nyack-on-the-Hudson. Three thousand enjoy a ten days' outing there every year. They are bathed and given fresh clothes on arrival. They are then free to play where they will. They have enough to eat for the first time in their lives. They are provided with swings, see-saws and other forms of amusement which are safe and good for them. They are shown reveling in big dishes of ice cream. The picture closes with a group on the lawn waving flags. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
