COSY THEATRE
“THE FRONTIERSMEN.”
“The Frontiersmen" programme at the Cosy Theatre will be finally shown tonight.
“NIGHT OF MYSTERY.”
A new Philo Vance murder story, Paramount’s “Night of Mystery,” as exciting as all the other S. S. Van Dine screen attractions, will be seen tomorrow night. Thrown into the midst of a series of murders that threatens to extinguish a whole family forced to live in a mysterious mansion, Vance unearths clue after clue that leads up a blind alley. He finds pitted against his coldly scientific methods of crime detection a maniacal strength that eludes each trap. Richards, as the suavely polished Philo Vance adds something to the role that gave William Powell a push up the ladder of fame, in the older Van Dine mystery films. As a leaner, more agile Heath, than that portrayed b.v Eugene Pallette. Roscoe Karns presents a completely different characterisation of a favourite movie character. Ruth Coleman, Harvey Stephens, Purnell Pratt and Elizabeth Pattqrson give excellent performances.
“Turn Off the Moon." is the other attraction, in which plenty of excellent music and laughter are provided. Charlie Ruggles heads the cost. He is aided by Eleanore Whitney, Johnny Downs, Kenny Baker, Phil Harris and his orchestra. Ben Blue, Marjorie Gateson and the Fanchonettes.
