JANET GAYNOR IN VZ GIRLS WANTED.” ' .“2 Girls Wanted,” Fox Filins version of the John Golden stage hit, with Janet Gaynor In the stellar role, will be shown for the last time to-night. This is the first production in which Miss Gaynor is cast and billed as a star, an honor she earned with her sensational performance in the part of Diane in “7th Heaven”. This picture is based on the play written by Gladys Unger and tells the, story of two sisters who are struggling to make a living in New York. Sarah, played by Mario Mosciuini, who also appeared in “7th Heaven”, is incapacitated from work by a broken arm, and Marianna, played by Miss Gaynor is unable to get a position. At last in desperation, Marianna dons boy’s clothes and tries to get a boy’s job. Then comes a fight with a boy, her escape and an embarrassing situation when she hits a young man, Dexter Wright with an over-ripe tomato intended for the boy. The succeeding episodes are splendidly and logically motivated, and tho romance of the two develops through a series of situation that swing twixt honour and tears. “2 Girls Wanted,” does credit to all who had any hand in the making of it, including the cast of supporting players with Grenn Tryon in male lead and Alfred Green who directed the picture. It is fine entertainment that the whole family will enjoy.
