COSY THEATRE
“GOODBYE BROADWAY.” One of the funniest and most outstanding casts ever brought together into one picture has the audience howling in high glee in “Goodbye Broadway,” Universal’s comedy in the mighty tradition of “My Man Godfrey,” at the Cosy Theatre tonight. Charles Winninger and Alice Brady, who were so funny in “Three Smart Girls,” are together again in this picture and the result is one of the most rollicking comedies to reach the local screen in months. Not all of “Goodbye Broadway,” ip harumscarum comedy, although there is scene after scene of pure fun. There are also many situations of touching sentiment and suspenseful drama, which director Ray McCarey has built to a surprise climax. On the same programme is a splendid murder mystery set in a college background, “Extortion,” starring Scott Colton and Mary Russell. A special number is the stage presentation of “Ventrix,” a ventriloquist of unusual ability who has just concluded a successful tour of Australia.
