ST. JAMES THEATRE.
An entertaining mystery drama, with the renowned Philo Vance striving to iind a solution, is presented this week at the St. James Theatre, with Edmund Lowe taking the role of the famous,detective. "The Garden Murder Case," as* the film is titled, has plenty of thrilling situations to hold the spectator's attention, but at the same time embodies some lighthearted romance • and a thin vein of humour. Commencing with the mysterious death ,of a young jockey taking part in a gentlemen riders' race, the plot becomes deeper when two more people are struck down, both being close associates of the unfortunate young man. One of the richest families of the United States is involved in the tragedies, and several of the household are suspected. Virginia Bruce, a young society girl, is among those suspected, but she attracts the attention of Vance, who seeks a solution of the crimes in order to clear her name. There are some attractive supporting subjects.
