COSY THEATRE

MYSTERY AND COMEDY. A double feature programme nerrena' at the Cosy Theatre to-night. The solutiou of a baffling murder committed' directly in front of forty horrified wituesses who see tbe victim fall dead at tbeir feet, but cateh no sight of the murderer or his weapon, is tbe basis of Paramount 's "Murder with Pictures," with Lew Ayres and Gail Patriclc. In au entirely new treatment for this typo of picture, tbe idenrily of tbe slayer ultimately rovcaled in a whirhyind finish by a pbotograpb wbicli was taken just as tbe crimo was committed. A mere wisp of sraoko in the pbotograpb betrays tbe plolter and breaks a "x>er i'ect crime. " What bappens when a newspaperman wiith a flair for gags sets out to give his former sweetheart the world 's most sensational wedding present, on the eve of her nuptials to anotkcr mau, l'orms tbe basis of tbo Paramount comedyrouiance, "Wedding Present," tho second feature, with Joan Benuett and Cary Grant in stellur roles. "Wedding Preeent" is adapted froiu tbe hit Saturday Evening Post story of the same name by Paul Gallico. It was directed by Richard Wallace and produced by B. P. Schulberg as tbe first of his pictures under a new agreement with Paramount.
