COSY THEATRE
“PERSONAL SECRETARY.”
Prominent among the many entertaining features of “Personal Secretary,” which will be presented again at the Cosy Theatre tonight, is the welcome appearance of Joy Hodges, last seen in “Merry-Go-Round of 1938.” Miss Hodges, who returned to . Hollywood after a long season with George M. Cohan in the Broadway success “I’d Rather Be Right,” is a whole show in herself, and her work in “Personal Secretary” is particularly outstanding. In this new picture, she is seen as an enterprising newspaper columnist engaged in a feud with a rival “key-hole” wizard, William Gargan. Both roles are handled with engaging honesty and the murder-mystery-comedy plot contains just the right amount of thrilltwists to keep any audience balanced between guesses and laughs. Other prominent artists in the picture are Andy Devine, Ruth Donnelly, Florence Roberts, Betty Laidlaw, Robert Lively and Charles Grayson. BINKIE STUART AGAIN. The supporting feature is a moving drama-romance “Little Miss Somabody,” starring Binkie Stuart, the wonderful child star, who scored such a success in “Rose of Tralee.”
