GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. The amazing adventures and glorious romance of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Fann," as vivified in the Fox production featuring Marian Nixon and Ralph Bellamy is now at the Grand Theatre. The choice of dainty, wistful, ap'pealing Miss Nixon and tall, handsome Bellamy to enact the leading roles in this important feature pieture came, it is said, as a reward for splendid work in recent suecesses. Lavishness of production in both locale and settings is promised in the current version of the Kate Douglas Wiggin and Charlotte Thompson masterpiece. It was filmed on a specially reeonstructed Sunnybrook Farm, near Santa Cruz, California, with the reproduction of a New England hlizzard in which the dramatic climax occurs. Briefly, the film story recounts the main adventures of Rebecca, as immortalised in the hook, revolving around her intense desire to win the regard of her spinster aunts; her interest in ohtaining a wedding ring for the unwed mother of Jack-O-Lantern, and her romance with Dr. Adam Ladd. Mae Marsh, as Aunt Jans, and Louise Closser Hale, as Aunt Miranda, portray the aged spinster aunts of Rebecca.
