COSY THEATRE

"MURDER GOES TO COLLEGE.”

The current programme at the Cosy Theatre, headed by “Murder Goes to College,” will be finally shown tonight. “PRAIRIE THUNDER.” “Prairie Thunder,” back in the 1860’s, was the thunder of the hoofs of Indian ■ponies as they battled the invading white men, plus the thunder of guns wielded both by the hardy United States Cavalry and the redskins themselves. It was a time of battle as the white men sought to push their telegraph lines and railroad tracks across the prairie wastes. It was a time when men were forced to live by their wits and courage alone and such men as Buffalo Bill, General Custer, and others, enacted the heroic deeds which made them legendary, figures, even while they lived.' And. so the name is indeed appropriate for the melodrama that brings the western star, Dick Foran, to the Cosy Theatre tomorrow night. He is supported by a new comer to the films, Ellen Clancy. A mystery-thriller mdvie called “The Invisible Menace,” with Boris Karloff as its star is the second attraction at the Cosy Theatre. The finish is a smashing revelation of the killer, and he turns out to be an individual that not one out of a hundred in the audience has even suspected. That’s the way all movie mysteries should turn out. Splendid performances by Mr Karloff, by the fresh and youthful Mr Craven, and by the sparkling comedienne, Marie Wilson, make the film an outstanding one in the realm of movie mysteries. Included in the cast are Regis Toomey, Cy Kendall, and Frank Faylen.
