ST. JAMES' THEATRE.

«OH, FOR A MAN!" With the 6tr»nfo and illogical whims that beset womankind at times as its theme, the talkie, "Oh, for a Manl" which will begin to-morrow at St. James' Theatre, is paid to be a screen play without a flaw. Mow many times has the remark been made, '♦You never know women I" and anyone who ftrabt* the truth of that should sea this rich comedy talkie and he convinced. "Oh| For 4 Kant" has a most novel story, of -which the theme is the unique love romance of n prima donna and a burglar. It is smart, subtle, sophisticated, and, above all, genuinely entertaining. ' JeanetJe MacDonaid, who came to screen notice drst with Chevalier in "The Love Parade," top# her work in that ftlm by a mile, and her glorious volee charms in several song numbers logically introduced, not" ably the aria from '■ "Tristan and Jaolip," ! and « little ballad, "On a Summer Night." Reginald Denny has the mpst glorious cpi featuring roje of his entire screen career I us.a biprglar with an ambition to sing and tbfc T>hy*le#l phsrm to win the to<ro °£ » beautiful womsn who )iN repulsed soom of wealthy #dmir«s. V?»rren ffmer and M*rjorie White, (of "Sunny Side CIV"} furnish many hilarious moments.
