COSY THEATRE
“MY AMERICAN WIFE." A light, romantic story, designed expressly for the talents of its stars, is presented in Paramount’s "My American Wife,” one of the two attractions showing at the Cosy Theatre tonight. Lederer, charmingly suave European actor, is cast in the film as a foreign Count who marries an American girl, then sets about to prove himself as good an American as her pioneer grandfather, Fred Stone. Miss Sothern, led by the social aspirations of her mother, Bille Burke, insists on keeping her Count in braid and spangles. A lawyer intent on separating a happily married couple who allows the machinations of a crooked astrologer to part them, finds himself in the lobby of "Hotel Haywire” with a wife who does not want to find her husband with the co-respondent. The role serves as a "comeback part” for Chester Conklin, walrus-moustached Mack Sennett comedian, who has been absent from the screen for five years. This Paramount picture is also featured on the programme at the Cosy Theatre tonight, with Leo Carrillo, Lynne Overman and Benny Baker ,in the leading comedy roles. '
