EMPIRE
“THE UNDERSTANDING HEART”
A romantic motion picture, so real that the onlooker can almost feel the cool mountain breezes or the scorching forest fire, is “The Understanding Heart/' the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer screen version of Peter B. Kyne’s popular novel, which was shown at the Empire Theatre last night. This new picture is so enthralling that one is swept away in the current of emotions that builds to a smashing, powerful climax under the able direction of Jack Conway. The story concerns “Monica Dale,” daughter of a forest ranger, who on the death of her father takes charge of a look-out station, placed a thousand feet above the surrounding country. Joan Crawford makes a definite bid for stardom as “Monica.” Last seen in “Winners of the Wilderness,” this young actress impresses in an entirely different type of role, and all who saw her much admired her performance “The False Alarm” will be the second feature on an excellent programme at the Empire to-night.
