COSY THEATRE
“LOVE ON TOAST.” The plight of a modest soda fountain attendant who suddenly becomes the most popular young man in the country, by winning a male beauty contest which he did not enter, forms the hilarious background of “Love on Toast,” Paramount’s crisp comedy which will open tonight at the Cosy Theatre. The male role is played by John Payne, radio singer. Stella Ardler, Grant Richards, Katherine “Sugar” Kane, Benny Baker, Isabel Jewell and Luis Alberni are also in the cast. The second feature is Zane Grey’s “Born to the West.” John Wajtne, gangling six-footer, who appears in “Born to the West,” an outdoor romance by Zane Grey, had a job as property boy in a film studio where Raoul Walsh was directing a picture. One day Walsh saw him walk across the lot. That walk, Walsh decided, was a real western “gait.” He sent for the young man and gave him the leading role in “The Big Trail,” one of the outstanding pictures of its time, and Wayne has been in pictures ever since.
