ST. JAMES
“ROOKERY NOOK” For many years Ralph Lynn and Tom Walls have been favourites of London theatregoers, with their inimitable humour in comedies that have placed the Aldwych Theatre well on (he map of popular theatres. They have produced and acted in “Tons of Money” with Mary Brough (the farce that made them famous), “Rookery Nook,” “Cup of Kindness,” etc. Ralph -Lynn and Tom Walls make their screen debut in the all-talking film version of “Rookery Nook,” which is now at the St. James Theatre. The original stage cast appear in the film, with Mary Brough as vivacious as usual. “Rookery Nook” is a British and Dominions film, made in co-operation with His Master’s Voice Gramophone Company. It is a very jolly farce, full of side-splitting situations. Ralph Lynn and Tom Walls give of their best, as already stated, and they are brilliantly supported by Winifred Sboter, Ethel Coleridge and Robei-tson Hare. The St. James programme includes several particularly fine talkie featurettes. Opposite George O’Brien in “The Last of the Duanes” will he Lucille Brown. A. F. Erickson will direct for Fox Films.
