Those rippling waves of sound that to-duy emanated from the King's theatre were occasioned by the showing there of Hollywood's screen version of P. G. Wodehouse's "Piccadilly Jim,"
The whole world laughed at the. word picture which Wodehouse drew in his Inimitable style. but the laugh is more hilarious with the visual and audible per- formance. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has brought "Piccadilly Jim" into being in the person of Robert Montgomery who gives one of the most delightful performances of his career. A stellar supporting cast includes Frank Morgan: alsó of the Great Ziegfeld, cast. Madge Evans, Eric Blore. Bile Burke. Robert Benchley, and others.
