GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT Phillips Holmes, who plays opposite Nancy Carroll in the new Paramount drama, "Stolen Heaven," is one of the comparatively few stars the talking screen has produced. His rise to sereen prominence has been rapid. After sevcral small parts which he handled with surprising skill, Holmes was given his first important role opposite Nancy Carroll in "The Devil's Holiday." In that picture Holmes, along witli Miss Carroll, was accorded much praise., and his success as a popular leading man was assured. Holmes' next role was with Walter Huston in Columhia's dramatisation of the well-rememhered Martin Flavin play "The Criminal Code." As the young man and tragic hero of this unforgetable story, Holmes shared acting honours with Walter Huston. Which, as you know, is no small feat. Now.in his latest picture Holmes again plays opposite Miss Carroll in a vivid and tense dramatisation of a Dana Burnet story, "Stolen Heaven." In "Stolen Heaven" it seems safe to say Holmes really comes into his own. He plays the role of a friendless hoy who, 'under strange eircumstances, finds the peace and solace of true love. It is the role of power and strength which Holmes plays convincingly. • "Stolen Heaven," with Nancy Carroll and Phillips Holmes, will he shown at the Grand Theatre to-night.
