“THE COCK-EYED WORLD" One of the hilarious episodes in the all-talking Fox Movietone production, “The Cock-Eyed World,” directed by Raoul Walsh, of “What Price Glory” fame, deals with a little red book, given by “Top Sergeant Flagg,” played by Victor McLaglen. to his pal and arch enemy, “Sergeant Quirt,” played by Edmund Lowe, when the latter decides to leave the service. The little red book contains names, addresses and descriptions of Quirt’s various former flames, a goodly number, to say the least. When the transport carrying the marines docks in New York, “Flagg” hurries to the nearest telephone booth and calls the lassies listed in this little red book. He only locates “Fanny,” played by beautiful Jean Bary. She is dated for a rollicking trip to Coney Island. All goes well until they meet the last person in the world they expected to And, Quirt, and then trouble begins. Quirt makes a sly effort to get the girl. “The Cock-Eyed World” is now screening at the Plaza Theatre. It is from the story by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson. Billy K. Wells wrote the dialogue and lovely Lily Darr.ita is also featured. Excellent supporting items are also being presented.
