COSY THEATRE
"PRINCESS COMES ACROSS." A story of mystery and romance on the Atlantic is unfolded by Para mount's "The Princess Comes Across," to screen to-day at the Cosy Theatre with Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray in the stellar roles. Miss Lpmbard appears as a charming American girl posing as a Swedish princess, en route to New York to land a film contract. Aboard the luxury liner, "Mammoth,*' setting for the entire plot, she meets and falls in love with MacMurray, concertina-playing maestro of a "swing" band. Before the "Mammoth" has docked at New York, the romance of the supposed princess and the music "king" has wound through a plot involving a pair of murders, blackmail, sleuthing of five international detectives and a nick-of-time solution by MacMurray. An unusually varied supporting cast adds much to both comedy and mystery of the oftering. Heading the list are the inimitable Alison Skipworth, "lady-in-wait-ing" to the Princess; William Frawley, m'anager for MacMurray 's band; Douglass Dnmbrille, Porter Hall, and George Barbier.
