ST. JAMES THEATRE
" Murder, He Says,” which will be shown at the St. James Theatre to-mor-row, and which is described as one of the funiest farces to come out of Hollywood, lias a combination that is hard to beat—with Fred Mac Murray as the star, supported by Marjorie Main, Porter Hall, Jean Heather, .and Peter Whitney. Their combined ingenuity concocts a poison which makes the victim glow like 10,000 watts before expiring. Fred is continuously occupied with avoiding this and other death-dealing devices. When he finds time to size up his surroundings lie discovers that a certain Helen Walker is strikingly attractive, despite six-shooter ar.d cigar. Walker, who previously handled the romantic lead opposite Alan Ladd in “ Lucky Jordan ” with such success, does a fine bit of acting in a difficult role. Whitney can almost be called a discovery in this farce film.
