COSY THEATRE

“CHARLIE CHAN AT THE OPERA.” At the Cosy Theatre tonight “Charlie Chan at the Opera,” will provide a solid hour of thrill-packed entertainment, comedy and youthful romance. With Warner Oland as Charlie Chan, the arch-enemy of crime, coming face to face with Boris Karloff, the king of terror, the picture is the yhighspot of the wily Chinese sleuth’s career and the acme in mystery entertainment. The film, which features Keye Luke, Charlotte Henry, Thomas Beck and Margaret Irving in the supporting cast, opens with the murder of an insane asylum guard by Karloff, an inmate, whose warped mind recognises a picture of his wife in a newspaper. Bent on vengeance, Karloff completes his escape and goes to the theatre where his wife is appearing in “Faust.” Charlie Chan, hot on the trail, appears backstage at the opera but is unable to prevent two more murders. When the madman’s reign of terror strikes at two young lovers, Chan craftily apprehends him and, in a surprise denouement, unmasks the real killer. The second feature is “Banjo on My Knee,” starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea and Walter Brennan.
