ST. JAMES
“GOLD DIGGERS OF BROADWAY” Thousands of playwrights, stage producers and motion picture companies have heretofore sought to catch the glitter and glow of Broadway’s theatrical life. It remained for the late Avery Hop wood, the playwright, to make It live in scintillating dialogue, and for David Belasco to make a stage success of the play. And now Warner Brothers have, with lavish generosity, made “Gold Diggers of Broadway,” the talkie now at the St. James Theatre, a hundred per cent, natural colour, talking, singing and dancing production. With a cast of vaudeville and musical revue headliners, songs and tunes far out of the ordinary, a chorus of fast-stbpping girls, gorgeous technicolour in scenes which follow one another in a kaleidoscopic procession of rainbow hues, “Gold Diggers of Broadways” now comes to the public as the most colourful and melodic presentation of Broadway life ever shown on stage or screen. “Tip-Toe Through the Tulips” and ‘Fainting the Clouds With Sunshine” are two of the principal musical numbers. These are introduced by* Xick Lueas. known on gramophone records as “The Crooning Troubadour.” Well-selected supports are also screened.
