COSY THEATRE

“SING BABY, SING.”

With Alice Faye romancing with Michael Whalen, Adolphe Menjou going daffy, Gregory Ratoff, the demon dialectician, mangling the English language, the king and queen of comedy, Ted Healy and Patsy Kelly, smashing all laugh records, and the Ritz Brothers bringing a new kind of musical clowning to the screen, “Sing Baby, Sing,” will be seen again tonight at the Cosy Theatre. The action grows wilder and more hilarious as the picture proceeds. The laughs come thick and fast, with the climax one of the most side-split-ting sequences ever brought to the screen. Four new hit songs, including “Love Will Tell,” “You Turned the Tables On Me,” “Sing, Baby, Sing” and “When Did You Leave Heaven?” are featured in the production. Thrills undersea and high-jinks ashore are promised in “High Tension,” the Fox picture coming to the Cosy Theatre tonight, with Brian Donlevy, Glenda Farrell, Norman Foster, Helen Wood and Robert McWade in the leading roles. With a background of death-defying dangers under the sea, the film relates the hilarious adventures of two dare-devil pals who don’t fear the perils at the ocean bottom nearly as much as the live-wire blondes they meet ashore. The film opens in a blaze of excitement with Foster rescuing Donlevy from a free-for-all In a waterfront saloon.. Out to drown his sorrow because Glenda Fgrrell has given him the air, Donlevy gets into a brawl and is getting much the worst of it until Foster appears on the scene. Swearing off women “for life,” Donlevy and Foster go to sea where they go through a series of breath-taking adventures repairing the undersea cable lines. On the stage will appear in person “the yodelling Hillbillie,” with his guitar and songs.
