BLONDE TROUBLE

A COSY ATTRACTION..

. Add up one young, handsome songwriter, one “only girl in the world” and one, wise gold-digging blonde; what have you got? Why, “Blonde Trouble,” which opens tomorrow at the Cosy Theatre, with a cast of favourites headed by Eleanore Whitney, Johnny Downs, Terry Walker, Lynne Overman and William Demarest. . “BIG CITY” A POWERFUL STORY. “Big City,” which will open on Saturday week at the Regent Theatre will star Luise Rainer and Spencer Tracy. An excellent supporting cast in this powerful story includes Charley Grapewin, Janet Beecher, Eddie Quillan, Victor Varvoni, Oscar O'Shea, Helen Troy, William Demarest, John Arledge. Irving Bacon, Guinn Williams and Regis Toomey. Some of the scenes were filmed in Jack Dempsey’s restaurant in New York. TOM WALLS AS HE REALLY IS. In “Second Best Bed,” at the Regent Theatre on Thursday next, .filmgoers will have an opportunity of seeing Tom Walls as he really is. In most of his comedies he appears as a philanderer, sometimes a felon nearly always as a man whose pleasures are sought by night rather than by day. "Second Best Bed” shows him as a typical English country gentleman, a sheriff of his county, whose main interests lie in the direction of his pigs, horses and dogs. In private life Tom Wall's chief passion is farming. Most of his film earnings go into the development of his farms at Ewell and Chertsey. He comes of farming stock and takes this pursuit very seriously. His prize cattle are a source of general admiration wherever they are shown and of course his horses are among the finest-trained animals to appear on an English race-course. He confesses that when filmgoers get tired of seeing him on the screen, a circumstance some considerable time off if his films come up to the splendid standard set by his latest comedy, he is determined to settle down and become an everyday farmer.
