COSY THEATRE

“THE LAW IN HER HANDS.” “The Law in her Hands,” a First National comedy drama, combining hilarious laughter and dramatic thrills, will be finally shown at the Cosy Theatre tonight with a talented cast headed by Margaret Lindsay, Glenda Farrell, Warren Hull and Lyle Talbot. OUTSTANDING ATTRACTIONS. Kathleen Kelly is the sole feminine member of the cast of “The Mutiny of the Elsinore,” the thrilling John Argyle screen version of the famous Jack London story. It was distinctly a case of “beauty and the beasts,” for the casting director of Ihe Argyle company had rounded up a crew for “The Elsinore” that looked villainous and rascally in the extreme. Kathleen Kelly appears as the daughter of the skipper of "The Elsinore,” and plays opposite Paul Lukas, who is seen as an author, sailing aboard the vessel in the hope of getting some authentic copy for a new book. When mutiny breaks out, he finds all the excitement and all the copy he requires. Lyn Harding appears as the tough bullying first mate, “Mr Pike,” while a strong supporting cast includes such well-known players as Clifford Evans as a gangster fleeing from justice, and taking a job as a common seaman aboard the wind-jam-mer, at Pat Noonan, the celebrated Irish actor, Michael Martin Harvey, Ben Soutten, and a whole host of others.

The second attraction will be “Springtime in the Rockies,” with Gene Autrey in the leading role. It is a thrilling story of the West. The third outstanding feature is “Popeye Meets Ali Baba’s Forty Thieves,” a magnificent technicolour picture. *
