"MY BEST GIRL." Regardless of the sardonic comments of the intelligentsia, the "Cinderella" theme will continue to be an ovor-popular basis for motion picture motifs, according to Mary Pickford. "The old, old story of the poor girl who eventually marries her 'Prince Charming will always have a wide appeal in every country." In the 6tar's newest United Artists' vehicle, "My Best Girl," which trill be presented at the Grand Theatre next Monday, Miss Pickford adheres to her convictions. Playing the role of a hard-working stock girl, in the basement of a large 5-and--10 cent store, who falU in lovo with the son of the wealthy owner of the establishment, "America's Sweetheart" employs the universal Ginderella theme as a background for this new comedy-romance. "My Best Girl" contains tho essentials of a perfect narrative, including such indispensable ingredients as contrast, human appeal, and sym&pthy. And above all this kind of story personifies the universal human ambition to jiso above one's environment. In the struggles and dreams of the heroine, every girl sees her own struggles and dreams vivified. So long as screen entertainment is made for the public, this type of picture will enjoy popularity. The box plans for the season will open at The Bristol Piano Company on Thursday next.
