SPORTING DRAMA AT ST. JAMES'.
"THE DEVIL'S LOTTERY." In addition to the actual running of the English Derby, the most famous event in the world of racing, "Devil's Lottery," starring Elissa Landi, which opens on Friday at the St. James' Theatre, contains many scenes of interest to racing fans. One of these scenes shows the various groups of fortunetelling gipsies, so characteristic of Derby Day, in sharp contrast to the members of royalty and the "smart people" arriving in coaches and drags. Miss Landi is more exotic than ever before in this gripping photo-play. She is gorgeously gowned and is enveloped in that glamorous and siren air that has made her one of the screen's truly great actresses. With Miss Landi appears that virile favourite, Victor McLaglen, who shares male honours with Alexander Kirk la n d and Paul Cavanagh. Beryl Mercer and Barbara Weeks are the other featured players of the large cast, which also includes Ralph Morgan, Herbert Mundin, Halliwell Ilobbes and Ruth Warren.
