Yiddish drama.

Made on a very small budget with a hurried shooting schedule, "Mothers of Today" is a film that deals with the tragedies when the children of a mother (Esther Field), get in various mishaps and troubles.

The cast members, with the exception of Miss Field, were recruited from the stage for this New York production, released and distributed by Apex Producions.

Initial showing, in March, 1939, was at NYC's Clinton Theater with Yiddish dialogue and English titles. Film Daily called it a heavy drama of considerable merit, feelingly directed by Henry Lynn, that should have a strong appeal for the dyed-in-the-wool Yiddish fan.
