“NO, NO, NANETTE”
COMING TO THE ST. JAMES A farcical comedy, set against the most lavish backgrounds Hollywood has ever created, is promised when “No, No, Nanette,” the new First National picture, opens at the St. James Theatre on Friday next. The story is an adaptation of the famous stage success of the same name. A big featured cast appears, headed by Bernice Claire and Alexander Gray. Lucien Littlefield, Louise Fazenda, Lilyan Tashman, Bert Roach, Mildred Harris, Jocelyn Lee and Zasu Pitts are some of the other well-known players. “No, No, Nanette,” is the story of a kind-hearted old millionaire who can’t make his thrifty wife help him to spend his money. When he turns to a pair of young gold-diggers for assistance he gets himself into a lot of comical troubles. The backgrounds and settings are said to be magnificent. Four big scenes representing Holland, New York, Japan and Mars, all filmed in technicolour. are described as the high moments of the picture. Hundreds of people take part in these multi-col-oured sequences in whirling and sparkling dances.
Clarence Badger, director of “Paris,” directed “No, No, Nanette,” and Larrv Ceballos staged the dances.
