ST. JAMES
“ROOKERY NOOK” “Rookery Nook,” which has had such a successful run at the St. James Theatre, will continue there. Auckland picture-goers have convincingly shown their preference for all-British cast talkies, and the hfgn standard of English-produced talking pictures that have been screened in this city recently has further advanced this type of film in the public’s estimation. The plot is a clever fiction of farcical misunderstandings and unexpected happenings of two foolish young men and a henpecked husband, a vitrioltongued sister-in-law, a young girl who runs round in her pyjamas, and her splenetic German stepfather. But the story is well known, and it is enough to say that the cast, headed by Ralph Lynn, Tom Walls, Winifred Shotter, and Mary Brough, with their English voices and thorough acquaintance with the play, make the very best of their characters, each of which is a comedy sketch in itself. The changed supports are as interesting as they are varied.
