COSY THEATRE

"CHARLIE CHAN AT THE OPERA." At the Cosy Theatre tonight “Charlie Chan at the Opera,” will be finally shown, providing a solid hour of thrillpacked entertainment, comedy and youthful romance. “WILD MONEY.” When Edward Everett Horton is given unlimited funds with which to “sew up” an important newspaper story, things begin to happen in Paramount’s “Wild Money,” which opens tomorrow night at the Cosy Theatre. Especially, do things begin to happen when there’s also a girl to be Avon — beautiful Louise Campbell, New York stage beauty. Horton achieves his ambition when a kidnapping breaks right in his lap. The brilliant cast includes Lynne Overman, Louise Campbell, Porter Hall, Lucien Littlefield, Benny Baker, Ruth Coleman and Colin Tapley. The other feature is “St. Louis Blues,” which is packed to the brim with music, with specialty numbers, with top-flight entertainers and entertainment. A Broadway singer—Dorothy Lamour —tires of being billed as “Aloma,” South Seas singer, and forced to appear in a sarong. When her train stalls while going through a Mississippi flood region, she sneaks away from her manager and gets aboard the “St. Louis Blues,” a river showboat run by Lloyd Nolan. Paralleling the romance of Nolan and Miss Lamour is a laugh-filled romance between Tito Guizar and “Punkins” Parker.
