COSY THEATRE

■LUCK OF THE NAVY.” Destroyers at full speed in stormy seas, attacks by swarms of aircraft, multiple quickfirers, machine guns and heavier weapons blazing at them, and a duel between a cruiser and a disguised merchant ship are some of the impressive scenes that provide authentic atmosphere to a thrilling spy story in “The Luck of the Navy,” which will be shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre. Geoffrey Toone is the Commander hero whose sealed orders are the object of the machinations of a gang of spies unwittingly entertained as guests in the house of a retired Admiral. Judy Kellj r is the Commander’s fiancee, whoso knowledge of Morse signalling saves more than one difficult situation. The lower deck is grandly represented by jolly little Albert Burdon and burly Alf Goddard. The rivalry of this pair for the affections of the Admiral’s maid makes them worthy candidates for the title “Flagg and Quirt.” The second feature, “Men Are Such Fools,” is a tale of the efforts made by a young couple, genuinely in love, to solve a problem of human relationships which for a time seriously threatens to make it impossible for them to achieve a happy wedded life. Popular Wayne Merriss and Priscilla Lane are featured in the leading roles and splendid comedy support is given by Hugh Herbert and Penny Singleton. Also screening is the eighth chapter of the exciting "Lone Ranger” serial.
