COSY THEATRE

"BLONDE TROUBLE." The current programme at the Cosy Theatre tonight headed by “Blonde Trouble" and "The Return of Sophie Lang," will be finally shown tonight. "THE HIT PARADE." With Frances Langford, Phil Regan, orchestra leaders Duchin, Hoff and Ellington, comedians Givot. Newell and "Kelton there is a sparkling cast in "The Hit Parade,” merry musical comedy romance, which will come to the Cosy Theatre on Friday. Frances Langford has a role that fits her in “The Hit Parade.” Phil Regan, whose golden tenor voice elevated him from the New York Police Department to screen fame, plays opposite Miss Langford, and the two are a heart-warming combination. A man who carved a wild slice of life —who defied society to question his right to live and to love under his own code —such is the theme of Universal’s “I Stole A Million,” co-starring George Raft and Claire Trevor, the associate feature. Claire Trevor as the girl, who almost headed him in the right direction, is the same little lady who created such a furore for her remarkable performance in the feminine lead of “Stagecoach.” Henry Annetta furnishes Ihe comedy highlights as the proprietor of the flower shop which Raft decided to "hold up” for pin money, not knowing that destiny was going to change his plans again by having him find romance there —in the form of Claire Trevor. Dick Foran is the third corner of the love triangle, however, which provides the force for Raft to attempt a complete straight course, until society insists upon his debt being paid! Victor Jory heads the principals who build for menace and the misfortune which haunts Raft in spite of romance and right living. The fourth episode of the thrilling "Lone Ranger” serial completes a great presentation;
