COSY THEATRE

"DAD & DAVE COME TO TOWN.” The final screening of this laughter riot will take place this evening. " COWBOY FROM BROOKLYN.” Although it starts in a western locale, “Cowboy from Brooklyn,” the Warner Bros Musical farce, which will open tomorrow at the Cosy Theatre with Pat O’Brien, Dick Powell and Priscilla Lane in the featured roles, is definitely not a western picture, for it takes nothing in the western scene seriously. It is a hilarious tale of the complications which ensue when, a New York theatrical producer, played by O’Brien, comes to a Wyoming dude ranch and assumes that a trio of stranded eastern musicians who dress up in cowboy duds while they entertain the guests are authentic cowboys. Taking the leader of trio, played by Dick Powell, back to New York and launching him on a highly successful radio career as a cowboy crooner, he discovers his cowboy is really a Brooklyn youth who has never ridden a horse. When an enemy of Dick's tries to expose him .as a fake, Pat arranges to have the timid youth ride a'■bronco at a rodeo in Madison Square Gardens, and. in a fantastic and delirious sequence of events, Pat manages to get his big city cowboy to perform precisely as advertised. Music is plentifully interspersed with the action. The associate feature, "Queer Cargo.” features John Lodge and Judy Kelly in a story of action', thrills and adventure on the China Seas from Shanghai to Singapore! John Lodge comes to the screen in another red-blooded part in "Queer Cargo.” This forceful actor is always at his best in action pictures and here, as the master of a small steamer, and entrusted with the safe transit of some valuable pearls to Singapore, he has to grapple wfth mutiny among his crew-, and an attack by pirates. Judy Kelly has the leading feminine role. Also screening is the 6th Chapter of the Serial “Scouts to the) Rescue.”
