ST. JAMES
“SALLY” • All the charm of “Sally” has' been preserved in the talkie at the St. James Theatre, but everything is on a vaster scale —vaster, but not so vast as to lose the human values of the charming story. It is quite impossible to describe the picture adequately, within reasonable limits of space. There is simply too much to write about! But there are a few outstanding impressions which must be recorded —without prejudice to many others just as delightful. Marilyn Miller, of course, was born for musical comedy. Her singing, her dancing, the scenes in which she reveals her delightful gifts as a comedienne, her love scenes with Alexander Gray—well, those who have seen Miss Miller on the stage know what to expect, and if you haven’t, you simply must make her acquaintance as soon as possible. One recalls Alexander Gray, tho handsome young leading man who once played in the original stage
“Sally” with Miss Miller, and has made a sensation in Hollywood since he went to the studios last spring, T. Roy Barnes as the peppy theatrical agent; and Fprd Sterling, and Jack Duffy, and Maude Turner Gordon, and E. J. Ratcliffe, and Nora Lane.
