THEATERS

Director Frank Borzage has
achieved another masterpiece in the
film version of "7th Heaven,
which comes to the Valley Theater
tonight according to all report.
In fact, he is said to have set new
picture standards for future produc-
tions with this picture.
This Fox production, based on the
play by Austin Strong tells one of
the most remarkable love stories,
and one of the most beautiful that
has ever been written. The plot,
revolving as it does around two
seemingly mediocre characters
brings them literally from the sew
ers to the great heights of love and
self-sacrifice through a doctrine of
courage and faith.
"Chico," who according to his
own valuation is every remark
able fellow, and an atheist - is a
worker in the sewers of Paris. But
his soul scars above his work, as
he shows when he selects his home

A GOODWILL MISSION

The Christmas spirit to be entering into Amer
lean diplomacy to an unusual degree. Goodwill
missions" coming to be common thing. The most
ambitious of them all is to be undertaken soon by the
president himself
The occasion will be the sixth Pan American confer
which opens at Havana Cuba, on January 16.
President Coolidge will leave for Havana the 18th,
crossing from Key West in a warship With him will
go Secretary of State Kellogg and other officials of
the state department. together with delegation of dis
tinguished men headed by Charles E. Hughes. Am
bassadcr Morrow who has been pre-eminently an
ponent of goodwill in Mexico will be there. Also a
certain young man named Lindbergh, who has shown
unusual talent in fostering pleasant international
laons.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the president
"has set out to establish better understanding and
closer community of interests between the United
States and other American republics, to remove the
of friction, to break down racial and cultural
barriers and to promote joint enterprises of
benefit to the countries of the Western Hemisphere"
1t is worthy and timely undertaking, which may
be of enormous value to the future welfare of the
United States.
