Pictures showing to-day for the last time are "My Best Girl" at the Queen's Theatre, "The Un- derstanding Heart" at the World, UTOPIAN RESIDENCE. and "The Sap" at the Star. "My Best Girl" is the story of the life of a little shop girl who works in a Ave-and-ten-cent store, and through all the hard knocks she recelves, still believes in better thinga. She is an enigma even to her fandily who cannot under stand the idealism with which she goes through life. At the store she meets and falls in love with the son of her employer having no iden as to his identity. Charles Rogers plays opposite Miss Pickford and is spoken of as being one of the most promising young players of the screen. Others worthy of mention include Hobert Bosworth who is the own- er of the store in the picture and a well known actor, and Evelyn Hall, an English actress lately transferred to the screen..
World. Theatre.
"The Understanding Heart," which is showing at the World the life of the California forest Theatre, is a thrilling story of rangers. The leading players are Joan Crawford, Carmel Myers, Rockliffe Fellowes and Francia X. Bushman Jr. The picture has for its setting the beautiful Wosemite Valley and it is here that most of the outdoor scenes take place. Placed an lookout for forest fires on the top of a moun- tain is the role played by Joan Crawford whose escape from the station when surrounded by fire ig one of the exciting scenes the picture.

of
"The Sap" tells the story of a young man, spoiled and petted in his youth by his mother and who, when he is of age and sent out to face the world finds himself beaten at heart a coward. Then comes the war when he is draft- to France and is accidently made a hero. On his return home he is continually assaulted by the town bully. The whole picture may be said to be a close study of fear and it has been handled with remarkable skill and know- ledge of life..
