“7th HEAVEN.”

Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell have the featured roles in the him version of “7th Heaven,” which opens at the Opera House, for a .season of two nights and one Alatinee. These two youngsters, both of whom have come comet-like into the foreground among screen stars through their work in this picture, are said to give two of the finest .screen, performances of the year, -as ‘ Diane and “Chico” of the story. All of the foggy romantic atmosphere of the Paris Alontmartre where the story i» laid 1 has been retained tli o ugh ‘expert lighting and photography in the picture —and all oi the intimate and beautiful thoughts which made the play so great have been kept, through direction and interpretation. Besides the two principals, the east, includes Gladvs Brockwell, David l Butler, Bon Bard, Emile Chautard, George Stone, Marie Alosquini, Albert Gran and Brandon Hurst. Preceding each evening of screening Aliss. Vera Alogiuie will sing, “Love is just a Little bit of Heaven.M Owing to Good Friday intervening the, “7th Heaven” season is limited to two nights and one matinee only. The matinee will be held at the Grand Theatre on Thursday on account of extensive alterations being made to the Opera House. The box plan for the season is rapidly filling and intending patrons are advised to reserve their seats and avoid disappointment. GRAND THEATRE TO-NIGHT “SERVICE FOR LADIES.” Snow scenes, which for sheer beauty have rarely, if ever, been equalled on the screen, are said to be a dominant feature of Adolphe Alenjou’s latest Paramount comedy-drama, “'Service for Ladies,” which opens at the. Grand Theatre to-night. Winter sports in the Swiss Alps afford the background for an intensely human story of the romance of a head waiter and bis love for an American heiress. Of course, the fact that he is head waiter, even though such, a position carries much more dignity in Europe than it does in America, complicates the love affair, and therein lies the story. A particularly well-balanced cast, beaded by Kathryn Carver, Lawrence Grant, and Charles. Lane .support the star. There, is a. big supporting programme which will include Chrestie comedv “Mister Wife” Bray ATngazine. Topical News Reel.
