COSY THEATRE

“IN OLD CHICAGO.” The splendid programme at the Cosy Theatre tonight will be headed by two splendid pictures, “In Old Chicago” and "A Trip to Paris.” In “In Old Chicago,” Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Don Amache, Tom Brown, Alice Brady, and Andy Devine are featured in one of the greatest spectacles ever shown on the screen. It is an outstanding production that is amazing in its dramatic sweep and sensational in its terrific climax as flames destroy the city of Chicago. It is a heart-warming drama. “A Trip to Paris” features the Jones Family, Jed Prouty, Shirley Deane, Spring Byington, and Russell Gleason. The Jones Family one of Hollywood’s mos.t human contributions to film entertainment, is back again in another delightful comedy. This time, this consistently laugh-provoking group appears in ‘A Trip to Paris,” the funniest adventure they have embarked upon. Dad becomes inveigled into taking a trip to Paris, France, instead of Faris, America, and away they go. Mrs Jones does the rhumba, Lucy does Ihe Latin Quarter, Jack and Roger get involved in a spy plot, and Dad discovers that the Rue de la Paix is spelled “P-a-y!” aided chiefly by cousin Willie (Harold Huber). It is a delightful picture in every respect. An excellent programme of supports is also shown.
