COSY THEATRE

“THE WALKING DEAD.”

Lovers of the weird, the bizarre, and the unusual will find themselves thoroughly delighted with the production. “The Walking Dead,” starring Boris Karloff, which will be finally shown at the Cosy Theatre tonight. “ADVENTUROUS BLONDE.”

Third in the popular “Torchy Biane” series of comedy-dramas — showing Glenda Farrell as a girl reporter and Barton Mac Lane as a none-too-bright detective lieutenant —is "Adventurous Blonde,” which will have its first local showing tomorrow at the Cosy Theatre. It looks as though this idea el having the same characters go through various adventures (with entirely different stories) has caught on splendidly with the public, and Warner Bros, intend to present three more of them. First in the series was “Smart Blonde,” which introduced Torchy. Then came “Flyaway Baby,” based upon the recent flight around the world made by a New York girl reporter, Dorothy Kilgallon. In “Adventurous Blonde," as in the others, enmity exists between Glenda, as the reporter, and her male colleagues, because she is always scoring "beats” over them. Moreover, they are worried about her forthcoming marriage to Steve Mcßride. Four of them get together to frame her with a fake news story, and make her ridiculous. But,- as fate would have it. the fake yarn turns out to be true —supposed victim becoming the real victim of a murder, and so Torchy triumphs, to the discomfiture of the male reporters. She and Bart Mac Lane solve the mystery and bring the guilty to punishment.

"Expensive Husbands,” starring Beverly Roberts and Patrie Knowles, gives an inside picture of the movie capital of Hollywood, and is a most interesting romance. Another outstanding item on the programme will be the personal appearance of Aunt Daisy of 2ZB.
