Description: "This is a story of life along New York's Bowery, a street of despair, peopled by men who have lost their grip. At the Bowery Mission, presided over by Charles St. John, himself once a 'cast-off', the men and women are clothed, fed and given the road to rehabilitation. The subject is handled with tact and understanding." Advisory committee
