GRAND
1 - - “SEVENTH HEAVEN” TO-NIGHT After a very successful run of four weeks at the Strand Theatre, “Seventh Heaven” is now being shown at the Grand Theatre. “Seventh Heaven,” grand story that it is, is made still more grand by several subtle touches of a master possessed of a poet’s mind. The greatest praise one could give this marvellous piece of work would be to say that to attempt to criticise it would be the greatest impertinence, and that to endeavour to find words to enthuse about it would leave the writer seeking for adjectives. It is perfect! The two outstanding characteristics in this moving story are by Diane and Chico. Chico is played by Charles Farrell. I think it would be better to say is “lived” by Charles Farrell. This man is a mighty actor. First of all he is a man—a man whom any nation would be proud to send as its representative to a world challenge. Coupled with him is Janet Gaynor, as Diane. The world’s Diane! Her pathetic little figure in black makes a harp of one’s heart and plays whatever tune it pleases upon its strings.”
