COSY THEATRE
“NANCY STEEL IS MISSING.” The performances of Victor McLaglen, Walter Connolly, outstanding actor of stage and screen, and Peter Lorre, Hurope’s one-man chamber of horrors, make “Nancy Steel is Missing,” a picture (which will be shown tonight) filled with tense thrills and strong passions. June Lang and Robert Kent, rising young players, are featured in the film. The twenty-year span covered by the picture begins in the troubled days of 1917, when America was gripped by war hysteria. The daughter of Walter Connolly, a munitions magnate, sensationally disappears. Shortly afterward, Victor McLaglen, a hulking giant whose knowledge of the horrors of war has embittered him against all those who help to make it, becomes involved in a brawl with police and, because he is accused of being “pro-alien,” gets an unnecessarily severe jail sentence The other attraction is a typical Wodehouse tale, made funnier than ever by its transition to the screen. “Thank You, Jeeves!” is one of the most riotous of Jeeves’ adventures in extricating the inane Bertie from a peck of trouble and helping him win the lady of his heart.
