COSY THEATRE

"CLARENCE" AND "G3RL ITtOM SCOTLAND YARD." Booth Tarkington's "Clarence,?' the Paramount comedy of a family in whieh there is too much. love, comes to the Cosy Theatre to-night with a cast of top eomedians headed by Roseoe Karns. Every body's in love in "Clarence ' ' — ^with "the wrong person. Eleanore Whitney, the dau^hter in the batty Wheeler family, is in love with an old codger old enough to be her father. Her brother, Johnny Downs, is in love with the girl's governess. The butler is in love with the maid and the maid is in love with Johnny. Eugene Pallette is in love with his wife, but she doesn't believo him. It is up to Karns, asa* "Clarence," man-of-all-work in the Wheeler household, to straighten out this mess. Action, international intrigue and romance in generous portions keep Paramount 's "The Girl From Scotland Yard," w;hich is the second feature at the Cosy s Theatre, moving at a swift pace. The picture has plenty of Qirills and chills, some excellent- comedy, and a flavouring of mnsic. The story presents Karen Morley in . the title role as an agent who uses her beauty and wit to trap the inventor of a death ra,y who threatens to destroy England 's air foree with his invention. Since ^ the ray is operated at a distanee and is invisible, it is not an easy job that confronts her. , 12
