I missed the very beginning...


Apparently there was a screen with a paragraph or so of words describing the movie or giving some introduction.
Does any one have a print of this movie and can tell me what the words were?
I only caught something about " Honor thy father and mother..." at the tail end of it.
Thanks

I found it online for anyone else who missed it. It's a good quote, equally as relevant today at it was 80 years ago...

"Life flies past us so swiftly that few of us pause to consider those who have lost the tempo of today. Their laughter and their tears we do not even understand for there is no magic that will draw together in perfect understanding the aged and the young. There is a canyon between us, and the painful gap is only bridged by the ancient words of a very wise man...

HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER."
