ST. JAMES
“ROOKERY NOOK” The hilarious screen version of Ben Travers's well-known story and play, “Rookery Nook.” is attracting full houses to the St. James Theatre this week. Tho plot is a clever fiction of farcical misunderstandings and unexpected happenings, of two foolish young men and a henpecked husband, a vitrioltongued sister-in-law, a young girl who runs round i;i her pyjamas, and her splenetic German stepfather. But the story- is well known. and it is enough to say that the cast, headed by Ralph Lynn. Tom Walls, Win if rev! Shotter, and Mary' Brough, with their English voices, and thorough acquaintance with the play, make the very best of their characters, each of~ which is a comedy sketch in itself. Bright talkie shorts complete * the programme.
