GRAND THEATRE.
TO-NIGHT Thrilling and entertaining episodes go all the way toward winning fav°ur for "Skyline," the Fox picture which opens at the Grand Theatre to-night. The principal roles are portrayed^ by Thomas Meighan, Hardie Albright, Maureen O'Sullivan, Myrna Loy, and Donald Dillaway a very surfeit of talent with a supporting cast that includes Stanley Fields, Jack Kennedy, Robert McWade and Alice Ward. Skyline tells of a friendless boy who climbs from the city's depths to the lap of luxury by sheer pluck, after he meets and falls in love with a beautiful girl of the tenements. ^Meighan enacts the role of a dynamic builder of skyscrapers, who, in the end, turns out to be the boy's father — the unknown parent the youngster has hated because he failed to marry the youth's mother. He gives an inspiring and convincing performance. As the boy and girl Albright and Miss O'Sullivan do.splendid work, especially in their tender lovei scenes. Myrna Loy and Dillaway are very good, indeed. The photography is little short of marvelous. New effects of sight and sound blend the scenes of the picture into living beauty.
