ST. JAMES
“SALLY” All that you’ve ever hoped for in entertainment —romance, colour, music. dancing 1 , singing, spectacle; society drama, comedy and much more—all in ono picture, “Sally,” at the St. James Theatre. What better successor could bo chosen to “Rookery Nook,” “No, No. Nanette” and “The Desert Song” than this, the greatest musical comedy romance success in stage history. “Sally” is a waitress ambitious to become a dancer, so it is only natural that she should be “discovered” by a theatrical manager, and given a. chance. A young millionaire also has his eye on lier, object matrimony and some charming duets. But everyone’s dream is rudely shattered when “Sally,” masquerading for some reason as a Russian dancer, is exposed as an exwaitress at a magnificent party given by a society woman, and driven out as if she were a leper. Will it relieve your suspense to know that everything come out all right, and that “Sally” gets her millionaire? The acting is exceptionally good, with Joe B. Brown, T. Roy Barnes. Ford Sterling and Jack Duffy each contributing expert comedy. Nora Lane, who used to play in Westerns, looks, acts and sounds like the society girl she is supposed to be. A splendid programme of talkie featurettes is also being shown.
