Janet Gaynor makes a harp of one's heart to play whatever tune she pleases upon its strings.” OWEN NARES: “I think that Miss Janet Gsynor's performance ir 'SEVENTH HEAVEN’ will rank her as the most adored of all screen artists.” feLLALINE TERRIS: “When the end came, my only thought was to go tithe box office and buy another ticket to see it all over again.'* LILLIAN BRAITHWAITE: “It is like the unfolding of a beautiful dower and after the stress and the emotion of a very moving story, leaves the spectator with a great sense of fulfilment of two human beings through their childlike and beautiful faith.
