COSY THEATRE

"PROFESSOR BEWARE.” -.“Professor Beware” is not an academic warning, but the title of Paramount’s new Harold Lloyd comedy to be shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre. Lloyd has picked for a leading lady Phyllis Welch to accompany him on a cross-country jaunt that is the high spot of the picture. Starting out broke in California, the bespectacled comedian and Miss Welch travel across country, having typically Lloyd mishaps and meeting on the way a pair almost as dizzy as the comic himself. The two, Lionel Stander and Raymond Walburn, portray the part of tramps, and it is with their help that Lloyd leads an assault on a yacht in New York harbour to win the girl he wants. The trackless Malayan jungle, four hundred miles north of Singapore, formed the scene of the filming of “Booloo,” Paramount’s vivid drama of the world’s “darkest” region, which' is the second attraction in the programme. For over a year DirectorProducer Clyde E. Elliott, who filmed ‘“Bring ’Em Back Alive,” and his cast, headed by handsome young Colin Tapley, worked under almost overpowering handicaps to bring this amazing adventure story to the screen. Against the dramtie background of life-and-death battles between the animal-rulers of the jungle and the strange rites of voodoo-drunk natives, “Booloo" tells a tale of a young Englishman who penetrates the jungle in search of a mysterious white tiger.
