“SEVENTH HEAVEN” "Seventh Heaven” will be continued at the Strand Theatre for a few days more. The story of the little street waif, Diane, and the Paris street cleaner, Chico, with their friends, the cab driver, the "rat,” the street washer, and the priest, is a thing that will stick in your memory after many other pictures yet to be seen in the years to come will be forgotten. And those twin stars now blazing In the cinema firmament, Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, with what heart-reaching sincerity do they play their parts! What actress now playing could so win the hearts of an audience as does the wistful little Janet Gaynor, with her smite bravely struggling through her tears, her frail body bowing beneath the whip of her absinthe-maddened sister, or at last working and waiting for that remarkable fellow, her Chico? And great as is the interpretation of the role by Miss Gaynor, it is equalled by that of Charles Farrell in the part of Chico. He of the valiant heart, of the gay laugh—“a very remarkable fellow,” as he quaintly describes himself.
