COSY THEATRE
COMING,TOMORROW, It is a relief at times to turn from the modern school of over-plotted and self-conscious film stories to tales of unabashed adventure, and so “Laughing at Life,” the new Action Pictures Release, starring Victor McLaglen, will be shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre will be greeted with considerable enthusiasm, for it is a robust and vivid tale of a soldier of fortune. Offering McLaglen an almost perfect role as Captain Easter, a daredevil adventurer and gun-runner, it has such varied and colourful backgrounds as Panama, Shanghai, France, India, the South Seas and South America in the throes of a revolution. “Late Extra,” an exciting mystery thriller, will also be shown. The picture relies for the major part of its action on the search for a dangerous criminal. A Fleet Street reporter is sent to cover a murder “story,” and in doing so finds out a secret. He quarrels with his girlfriend over their different ideas of duty—to the paper or to the individual. Virginia Cherrill plays the part of the woman reporter and James Mason, a new discovery, plays opposite.
