COSY THEATRE

"OVER SHE CrOES." V "Over She Goes," with Stanley Lupino, screens finally to-night at the Oosy Theatre. Those who saw and enjoyed "Sing Me a Love Song" will certainly want to see "Melody for Two," with the same starring players, James Melton and Patricia Ellis, which screens at the Cosy Theatre ^to-morrow. Tin Pan Alley, night clubs and radio stations figure prominently in the background of "Melody For Two." The story, much stronger than most musicals, concerns the love affair between a singing orchestra leader and his young woman soloist, their separation through a misunderstanding which all but ruins the man, his comeb'ack by adapting the seductive swing rhythm to the ballroom, and a spirited competition staged between his orchestra of gorgeous blondes and the girl friend's band of young men musicians o.ver the radio. Melton, of course, has the leadersinger role, Miss Ellis is his girl friend who later becomes his greatest professional rival'and Miss Shaw is a torch singer who takes over Melton 's aff-ec-tions after he and Miss Ellis go their aifferent ways. Fred Keating also is a member of the cast, enacting the role of a .comedy manager, Marie Wilsc/. is a bull fiddle player, and Charles Foy is a hoofing press agent. Craig Reynolds plays the part of a gossip columnist. A1 Dubin and Harry Warren and M. K. Jerome and Jack Scholl provided a snappy collection of swing tunes. ■ 8
