* * * ''Seventh Heaven "

WILLIAM FOX has given to the pub- < lie some excellent moving picture productions over the pagt few years, but his latest effort In "Seventh Heaven" is easily entitled to the de^ signation, '^special/ . It provides one of the most appealing love stories ever seen on the screen, haying, as a background, an entirely new war angle. The theme. has practically been thrashed threadbare m the moving picture world, but this producer achieves a triumph m his new idea alone.
