EMPIRE
“TWO GIRLS WANTED” From a tragic little Paris street waif to a plucky American girl making her own way in the world are roles that are worlds apart, and still Janet Gaynor, star of “Two Girls Wanted,” now being shown at the Empire Theatre, interprets both and with equal success. It was in “Seventh Heaven” that she rose to overnight fame with her sensational portrayal as the pathetic Diane. Critics said here is a new star, but one who can only portray emotional roles. Then Miss Gaynor, to prove them wrong, chooses as her first stellar role the part of Marian, the happy, plucky, daring girl of New York, and gives an interpretation of the part with sympathy, humour and understanding. “The Man in the Shadow,” starring Myrtle Stedman and David Torrence, is also being screened.
