COSY THEATRE

‘■WE’RE ON THE JURY.” “We’re on the Jury” and “Behind the Headlines,” will be finally shown tonight. TOMORROW’S ATTRACTIONS. The programme tomorrow night will be headed by the western picture, "Rustler’s Valley.” “Hopalong Cassidy” and “Windy” Halliday are horrified to learn that their pal, “Lucky” Jenkins, has been killed by a sheriff’s posse. The sheriff, through flimsy circumstantial evidence, tries to claim the dead man was involved in a bank robbery. The two saddlemates decide to avenge his death and clear his name. In the investigation which follows, Cassidy finds himself tangled with Cal Howard, a crooked lawyer, who is after a ranch owned by Randall Glenn, which .the lawyer knows is being sought as the key to a watershed in an irrigation project in which he is financially interested. Cassidy learns that Howard is the power behind the bank robbery. He also learns that Jenkins is alive and in hiding. The leaders characters are taken by “Windy” Hayes and Muriel Evans. Bing Crosby is a policeman for a day in the new musical film, “Doctor Rhythm,” the second attraction. His friend, a real policeman, is unfit for work after a school reunion (held in a menagerie), and so Crosby, taking his place, is assigned as bodyguard to a beautiful young heiress (Mary Carlisle). This proves to be quite a task for she is trying to elope with a gambler. The theme provides scope for numerous comic situations. Andy Devine, as the incapacitated policeman, and Beatrice Lillie, lead the clowning, assisted by Rufe Davis and Laura Hope Crews. The many musical presentations include a song by Crosby, accompanied by a chorus of birds, and a gipsy ballet in which Miss Lillie assists Crosby.
