COSY THEATRE

"thief meeis thief." Moments of sheer beauty contrast vividly with moments of the tensest sort of dramatie suspeuse in "Stolea Holiday," istarring Kay Francis., which screens at the Cosy Theatre to-morrow. This time Miss Francis appears first as an obscure little mannequin in .a tiny Parisian modisle shop/ with ambitions to become the greatest eoutouriefti in the world. We see her progress from better to better things, until linally she has reached her goal. She dictates modes for all tiie world. She wears, of course, the most gorgeous of creations, which had the women in recent audiencies gasping in admiration. What Kay herself doesn't wear is worn by sixtyodd mannequins, all tall and slender and professional, who fumished a treat for masculine as well as feminine eyes. But the Parisian girl's progress has not been *easy. It has been aided largely through a rascally financier, Claude Eains, who'se schemes finally tumble about his shoulders and cause political scandals in France and even street riotsi in Paris, such as we have read about recently. The romantic interest in 4Stolen Holiday" is proved by Ian Hunter, the handsome young British actor who played in "The White Angel " with Miss Francis. He portrays a young English diplomat with whom the glamorous Kay falls in love. "Thief Meets Thief" screens finally to-night.
