ENTERTAINMENTS.

ST. JAMES THEATRE. A London bishop on a rampage of mystery, a young couple who try to be amateur criminals, and a hilarious plot in which the bishop, who reads detective stories, turns Sherlock Holmes and out-Holmes any detective ever heard of before—these are among the diverting details of "The Bishop Misbehaves," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayor's merry comedy mystery, showing tonight and to-morrow night at the St. James Theatre. Maureen O'Sullivan and Norman Foster play the romantic leads as the young cuuplc who delve into amateur crime in a madcap revenge scheme, and Edmund Gwenn, distinguished British character actor, plays the bishop who trips them up in their nefarious plan, who baffles crooks with a snuffbox, who finds the missing loot, uncovers a swindler, and otherwise sets all things right amid a hilariously funny sequence of situations.
