ST. JAMES
“ROOKERY NOOK” Ben Travers’s brilliant comedy, “Rookery Nook,” continues to thrill audiences at the St. James Theatre. His mastery of the farcical situations of tho thing is so complete that he wastes time on nothing else. For this reason, tho main thread of plot is almost a misnomer, lie takes an oper. ing situation which, like a well-known sauce, is “of peculiar piquancy,” and from that everything else depends. In the case of “Rookery Nook" this initial position discloses a pyjama-ed and friendless girl thrown upon -he hospitality of an itinerant newly-wed man The man moves and wins, but only after a large number of intensely funny scenes. i The picture is interpreted by a cas‘ of English actors who will be appreciated by everyone. They are as attractive a group as could be found, and are headed by Miss Mary Brough, Mr. Tom Wails and Mr. Ralph Lynn. There is an excellent, supporting programme of short pictures.
