ENTERTAINMENTS.
ST. JAMES THEATRE. “Reckless Living,’’ Universal’s faststepping comedy drama of impetuous youth, which opens at the St. James Theatre to-night introduces a unique set of characters, whose breezy, rollicking antics provide hilarious entertainment from start to finish. The comedy is the story of Robert Wilcox, endeavouring to roll up a sjnall stake solely on his luck, with the attendant ebb and flow of his fortunes. Supporting Wilcox in the principal dramatic roles are Nan Grey, youthful blonde star, and William Lundigan. The comedy element which predominates, is furnished by Jimmie Savo, world-famous pantomimist, who is making his debut as a talking star in the offering and Charles Judels, Harlan Briggs and Frank Jenks the famous singing taxi-driver of Deanna Durbin’s “100 Alen and a Girl.” In other important roles are May Boley and Harry Davenport. Savo shigs in his inimitable manner, while Nan Grey also offers a new song, “When the Stars go to Sleep,” a hit-number from the pens of Jimmie McHugh and Harold Adamson. The direction, by Frank McDonald, keeps the story moving at a rapid, well gauged pace. The supporting feature is “Wings Over Africa.”
