ENTERTAINMENTS.
ST. JAMES THEATRE. With their newest vehicle, “Swing Time,” which opened yesterday at the St. James Theatre, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers deliver the most tuneful and captivating lilmusical of their career. In story, songs, dances, comedy situations, supporting cast, and production “Swing Time” tops.its predecessors. The noted duo present a spectacular’ fast-moving double-triangle romantic travesty that holds the audience until the final fade-out. The two stars again offer their amazing dancing, with the intriguing “The Waltz in Swing Time” taking rank with their previous “Carioca” and' “Continental.” Jerome Kern’s haunting melodies, Dorothy Fields’ sprightly lyrics, the gorgeous “Bojangleis” scenic creation by John Harkrider, the notable efforts of a well-chosen cast and George Stevens’ adroit direction, all combine to make RKO Radio’s “Swing Time” an entertainment of the finest kind. The story deals with Astaire’s arrival in New York as an impecunious free-lance sport, bent upon making enough money to return to his home and marry. The picture will be shown to-night and again on Monday night.
