COSY THEATRE

"GUNS OF THE PEC08" AND "ISLE OF FURY"

Dick Foran, the Singing Cowboy, comes to the Oosy Theatre to-morrow in First National's latest thrilling Western, "Guns of the Pecos." The Princeton-educated cowboy sings two catchy new songs especially written for the picture by M. K. Jerome and Jack Scholl. "The Praire Is My Home" and "When a Cowboy Takes a Wife." The picture is said to be filled with thrills, ineluding hard riding, gun battles, c.attle rustling, and stampeding of a herd of horseB and a lynching bee. It is set in the period just after the Civil War, when South-western Toxas, known as the Pecos, was overrun by outlaw bands whichi the famous Texas Kangers finally broke up. For stark drama, wild adventure and unique romanee set in a weirdly glamorous background, few pictures can compete with the Warner Bros. production, "Isle of Fury," which is the second featnre at the Cosy Theatre. The picture, based on the Somerset Maugham novel "Three in Eden," is packed with thrills from start to finish, ineluding the rescue of men washed into the sea from a shap smashed on a jagged coral reef jn a terrific storm — battles with knife and gun between outlawed white men, half-castes and natives — and greatest of all, a titanic struggle to the death of two men caught in the snakelike tentacles of an octopus at the bottom of the qcean. "Marriage of Corbal" and Bengal Tiger" screens hnally to-night.
