GRAND THEATRE

SATURDAY. Palrons of the Grand Theatre this week will learn the true meaning of that phrase, "Sob Sister," which is the title of the Fox drama which opens on Saturday. It is the appellation applied to those feminine writers of the press who inject the heart throbs into the day's news. These saine patrons will also be delighted and thrilled with the theme of tho picture, for while it is laid against a newspaper background it deals with the human equation, with a boy and a girl, caught in the whirling crush of big city life. Instead of taking you into the busy city and piess rooms it gives you the insight into the heart reactions and emotions of these two romantic youngsters. Another delightful feature of the picture is the performance of James Dunn, the boy who came to Hollywood six months ago, an unknown, and emerged from his first picture, "Bad Girl," a leading star. And with Dunn is another promising player, Miss Linda Watkins, who makes her screen debut in the title role. Her performance, too, is extremely noteworthy, and one that is bound to set her well along the path leading to siardom. The film was directed by Alfred Santell from the screen adaptation of Edwin Burke. Minna Gombell, Molly j O'Day and Howard Phillips are the other featured playexs.
