		Stella Dallas was a sterling example of their confidence and perceptive enlightenment.
		Stella Dallas was based on Olive Higgins Prouty’s novel by that title that was reincarnated in 1925 and 1937 celluloid versions and adapted to radio by Frank and Anne Hummert.
		Stella Dallas was to become one of only a trio of serials occupying a single quarter-hour timeslot (in its case, 4:15 p.m.

	TIME.com: Stella Dallas* -- May 28, 1923 -- Page 1
		Stella saw that Laurel wasn't her kind— that she herself was the handicap on Laurel's becoming "nice." So she gave Laurel up in the only way that could bring a definite breach between them—let Stephen divorce her and married the wreck of an ex-society-riding-master, a worthy whom Laurel couldn't bear.
		Stella Dallas is an excellently written novel dealing with a genuine problem—the problem of the woman who marries, as the Victorians called it, " above her station," and does her best to fit into her new environment but cannot, while her children can.
		Stella is first of all a human being, not a type, and the same is almost as true of the other principal characters — even the somewhat pluperfect and superaesthetic Mrs.

	Stella Dallas OTR MP3 List (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dallas was a working-class heroine that was suddenly rich after marrying Stephen Dallas; her strong love for her daughter Laurel is the primary theme of the series.
		Though Prouty was against the depiction of the later Stella Dallas radio show, it is considered by many as the mother of all soap operas and dramatic tones on the organ after each dialogue support that theory.
		Stella Dallas was depicted by Barbara Stanwyck in 1937, and again as Stella starring Bette Midler in 1990.

	Stella Dallas featuring Barbara Stanwyck & John Boles Movie and DVD page on ARTISTdirect
		As the ultimate self-abnegating mother, Barbara Stanwyck endows her upwardly aspiring Stella with a potent mixture of crass fashion sense, hedonistic energy, self-aware pathos, and maternal love, while Anne Shirley's Laurel is visibly and poignantly torn between embarrassment and daughterly attachment.
		Stanwyck's dignity gives Stella's sacrifice to the class system the emotional punch that it requires, as she memorably stands outside a bay window in the rain, watching her refined daughter finally get what Stella always wanted for her.
		Critically praised for its superior performances, Stella Dallas garnered Stanwyck the first of her four Oscar nominations for Best Actress, as well as a Supporting Actress nomination for Shirley.

	DVDFanatic.com News: 03/16/05 - DVD REVIEW: "Stella Dallas"
		Stella marries Stephen Dallas (John Boles), a well-bred heartthrob with similar ambitions, and it initially appears they are on the path to social success.
		By the time Stella joins the country-club elite wearing a white fox wrap, bells on her shoes and tightly curled bleach-blonde hair, it is hard not to agree with the snobbish remarks that buzz behind her back.
		We sympathize with Stella, but more importantly, we are inspired to also whisper cruelties that mock her misplaced sense of taste and style.

	Lois Moran: The Impressive Vogue of Stella Dallas
		King explained that he was concerned that because Lois was a dancer her legs may have been too muscular for the girl in the film.
		In a compelling performance as Stella, the vulgar but well-intentioned mother who sacrifices so very much for her daughter's happiness, Belle Bennett accomplished some of the finest work of her career; Colman suavely effected the part of Stella's husband, Stephen; and Lois' portrayal of the daughter illuminated scene after scene.
		In its 1926 cover story, Photoplay noted that because of Stella Dallas, Lois "needed only one part to make her a personage," adding that the film helped her to "win her spurs more swiftly" than other young actresses of the day.

		Watching the 1937 version of STELLA DALLAS today is to be aware that you are partaking of one of the world's best-known, mother-love soap operas.
		Stella tells her upper crust beau that she wants to be just like his kind of people--and then proceeds to be anything but; he, on the other hand, tells her not to change, then spends the rest of movie waiting for her to do so.
		Even more moving is the great scene between Stella and her husband's first love/second wife (wonderfully played by Barbara O'Neil) in which Stanwyck gives over her daughter to the "better" family.

		Say it with tickets - the song of the box-office is sweeter music than the arias of the critics.
		"Stella Dallas" comes nearer being a perfect translation of a novel to the screen than any picture in screen history.
		It is a masterful piece of work, reflecting credit on its producer, Samuel Goldwyn, its director, Henry King, its continuity writer, Frances Marion, its author, Olive Higgins Prouty, and every member of the cast and organization.
