ST. JAMES
“ON WITH THE SHOW”
Last night’s audience at the St. James Theatre again uproariously acclaimed “On With the Show,” the 100 per cent, natural colour, talking, singing, dancing picture a Warner Bros, and Vitaphone production (in teehnicolour).
The colour is soft and glamorous and has none of the eye-offending rawness which lias marked other and earlier attempts at reproducing the hues of nature. Vitaphone, perfect in rendition of the speech and songs and music of
“On With the Show,” is given marvellous reality by this innovation.
The cast includes such screen favourites as Betty Compson, Arthur Lake, Sally O’Neil, Joe E. Brown, Louise Fazenda, Ethel Waters, William Bakewell, Fairbanks Twins and Sam Hardy.
The remainder of the programme at the St. James includes a number of entertaining short talkie items. There are one or two good comedy sketches, jazz items by Abe Lyman’s Band, songs by Frank Crumit, items by the Newsboys’ Harmonica Band, and songs by Chief Caupolian. a Red Indian with a rich, full baritone voice.
Harry Green, funny Jewish comedian. has been added to the supporting cast of “True to. the Navy/ Clara, Bow’s next all- talking picture* .
