COSY THEATRE
“EAST OF JAVA.” Wrecked on a typhoon-swept reef off the African coast in a ship filled with maddened lions and tigers and a dominant man more dangerous than dynamite, a lone girl fights through a terror ridden night. Morning brings only greater perils. Animals and humans escape to the island, begin their battle to survive. Hunger, thirst, stalking beasts, lack of firewood, throw the frightened survivors into an abyss of fear. That is, all save the gangster, the leader of men, the red-headed he-man, Charles Bickford, who battles as a wild man against the wild animals who seek his life and the lives of others. These are just some of the highlights of “East of Java,” the picture which is to be shown at the Cosy tonight and in which Bickford nearly lost his life when a lion attacked him. Another fine feature on this programme is E. Phillips Oppenheim’s best seller, “The Great Impersonation.” Edmund Lowe stars in this thrilling spy story which is. written with a deft hand and provides something well out of the usual run of secret service fiction. It is described as one of the finest dual-identity stories to reach the screen.
