TALKIES AT THE ST. JAMES
POLICY ANNOUNCED On Boxing- Bay another talkie theatre will be added to the city’s long list of these houses. This is the St. James Theatre, which since its opening nearly two years ago has been presenting 6tage musical comedy revue and vaudeville shows. The design and seating arrangements in the auditorium make the theatre very suitable for the showing of pictnres and for days past workmen have been busy installing the latest Western Electric talking equipment. The films to be shown at St. James comprise the whole output of Warner Brothers’ studios for 1930. , “Talkies” to be presented in the near future 1 introduce many new artists, as well as many old favourites. The opening attraction is “Gold Biggers of Broadway,” an all-colour, singing and talking production, which the management has been successful in securing for the first screening in the Southern Hemisphere. Other notable productions to follow are the technicolour musical revue, “On With the Show,” “Hottentot,” starring the famous Edw r ard Everett Horton, the Thomas Meighan success, “The Argylie Case,” “So Long Lettie,” a musical comedy which proved popular on the stage, and the two new A 1 Jolson shows “Say it with Songs,” and “Mammy.” Box plan arrangements will be announced later.
