COSY THEATRE
A BRILLIANT PROGRAMME.
The “guest” programme at the Cosy Theatre tonight consists of a brilliant combination of comedy and dramatic thrills. When Dad .Tones turns stock salesman and America's favourite folks dream of sudden wealth from a wildcat oilwell Business.” In the face of the family’s get-rich-quick dream, the kids keep on dreaming of love and romance, and in the end it is the kids who save the family from losing all when the oil hoax is exposed. In their usual family roles, Shirley Deane, Spring Byington, Russel Gleason, Kenneth Howell, George Ernest, June Carlson, Florence Roberts and Billy Mahan succumb, with varying degrees of confidence, to the salesmanship of promoter Lane. Grandma Jones, however, is suspicious, and she delegates the two Jones boys and Russell Gleason to get the truth about the well.
A thrill-packed melodrama of flying aces, foreign spies and modern romance, “Crack-Up,” the Tweentieth Cen-tury-Fox picture is the associate feature, and is pulse-quickening entertainment with fast-action and suspense, right up to the exciting surprise climax. The story opens at the christening of a giant plane, designed to pioneer trans-Atlantic travel service. Ralph Morgan, builder of the plane; Brian Donlevy, famous ace who is to fly it: Thomas Beck, his co-pilot; and Peter Lorre, half-mad cripple, mascot of the airport, are featured. Unquestionably one of the most thrilling dramas ever produced, it will hold interest from first to last.
