ST. JAMES REVUE
GEORGE WALLACE COMPANY
Weaving a fabric of laughter, the George Wallace Revuo Company takes its audiences down through the underworld nightly at the St. James Theare. "Some Night” takes up the largest part of the programme, telling the tale of society people who, becoming bored with life, decided to find amusement and fresh interest in the slums. • Aladdin's” lamp does the trick, and they are transformed into people of the underworld. George Wallace himself, living up fully to the title of the ‘‘King of Mirth.” plays the drunk, the assistant at the pie stall and the brokendown aristocrat with equal success, and does not forget his words in the prologue—that there would be more than fooling in the show. The "Flaming Youths” are this week featuring "In a Persian Market” —perhaps their best turn of the season. Marshall Crosby takes the part of an Irish policeman among other characters. while Marie Nyman continues to score successes as a dope fiend.
