ST. JAMES THEATRE. Showing finally this evening at the St. James Theatre will be a. doublefeature bill comprising “Riot- Squad/’ a quick-action story .of the New York police, and “Among the. Living/’ a strange tale of the workings of a madman’s mind. Uproarious comedy, fast-moving romance, lilting tunes and thrilling aviation scenes combine to make Universal's new laugli-iilm, “Keep ’Em Flying,” which comes to the St. James Theatre to-morrow afternoon and evening and on Monday evening, one of the prize screen packages of the season. Starring Bud Abbott and Lou C.ostelb;, and featuring madcap Martha Raye, lovely Carol Bruce, William Gargan and Dick Foran, the picture surpasses anything in the gufffiw Category io come from Hollywood in many moons. Although each successive Abbott and Costello screen vehicle has set new boxoffice marks, “Keep ’Em Flying,” which is backgrounded against Uncle Sam’s drive for world air supremacy, appears destined to establish still higher attendance figures. In addition to the array of stellar pex-sonalities, it boasts of a banner suporting cast including Charles Lang and William Davidson.
