COSY THEATRE

BULLDOG DRUMMOND. “Arrest Bulldog Drummond” will be finally shown tonight. “THE LAW IN HER HANDS.” “The Law in her Hands,” a First National comedy drama, combining hilarious laughter and dramatic thrills, comes to the Cosy Theatre tomorrow with a talented cast headed by Margaret Lindsay, Glenda Farrell, Warren Hull and Lyle Talbot. The plot is said to move with rapid fire action from the first sequence when a bomb_is dropped in a restaurant by a racketeer to the denoument in which the boss gangster is convicted of poisoning milk for babies and killing witnesses to cover up his tracks. The final court trial is amazingly sensational, a women lawyer turning her own racketeering client over to justice after he had kidnapped her and forced her to defend him by threats against her life. Other court trials are decidedly humorous. Misunderstandings pile up in the path of the two lovers and opposing lawyers, roles played by Miss Lindsay and Hull, until the amazing climax brings the solution to their knotty problem. Glenda Farrell aids and abets Miss Lindsay in her nefarious though hilarious, tricks to free their racketeering clients. Chief of the gangsters is Lyle Talbot. Others in the cast include Eddie Acuff, Dick Purcell, Al Shean. Joseph Crehan, Matty Fain, Addison Richards and Eddie Shubert.

Gene Gerrard promises to bring a big package of laughs to the Cosy Theatre tomorrow in his latest Warner Bros. Teddington production, "Where’s Sally.” The cast includes some wellknown names such as Claude Hulbert. Reginald Purdell, Renee Gadd. Ralph Roberts. Violet Fairbrother, Chili Bouchier, Athole Stewart and others.
