COSY THEATRE

THE SINGING COWBOY TONIGHT. \

Dick Foran, that strapping big star designated by Warner Bros, as their Singing Cowboy, and who has been gaining increased popularity with each of his western pictures, is to be seen at the Cosy Theatre tonight in his newest —“The Devil’s Saddle Legion.” Foran has been making astonishing strides forward. Not only is he an excellent actor, but a splendid baritone singer as well, and his ballads doubtless have hastened his progress ahead. This time he has three to sing—“Ridin’ To. My Home In Texas,” “God’s Country” and “When Moonlight Is Riding The Range.” They are by M. K. Jerome and Jack Scholl, who wrote Dick’s sensational recent hit, “My Little Buckaroo.” The leading lady in “The Devil’s Saddle Legion” is Anne Nagel, a lovely little Warner starlet, who played once before with him. “The Devil’s Saddle Legion” is laid in the Indian Territory of the old days, the lawless days, when this region was .still a frontier of the United States, long before the -territory became Oklahoma State.

“The Song of the Forge,” a second feature film is a true to nature study, told in the story of the English countryside from 1906 to the present day, showing changes that have come from the development of the motor industry. A stage presentation which should prove popular with Cosy audiences on Saturday afternoon and evening will be the “Troubadours” Piano-Accordion Band. This talented quartette of musicians has proved very popular during a recent tour of Wanganui and the Taranaki province, and will shortly be heard on the air before extending the tour to the South Island.
