COSY THEATRE

“IN OLD CHICAGO.”

The final screening of “In Old Chicago” takes place this evening and it is important to note that the Baby Contest concludes tonight. Competition is very keen so don’t fail to record your vote for your little favourite. “THE LOST JUNGLE.” One of the year’s most exciting films :s Action Pictures’ “The Lost Jungle,” the Clyde Beatty starring film which comes to the Cosy Theatre tomorrow. Beatty is the world's greatest animal trainer and the only man alive to mix lions, tigers, panthers and bears in the one cage, all performing at the same time. Packed with mile-a-minute excitement and pulling you out of your seat with terrifying animal fights, “The Lost Jungle” starts off with a bang that carries you up in the air and keeps you there, even after the last scene of the film has faded from the screen. Beatty, as an animal trainer in search of a new variety of animals for his circus act, takes a dirigible headed for the jungles. Encountering a terrific storm, the dirigible crashes to the earth right in the heart of the lost jungle, a portion of land never inhabited by man. Ir. a smashing climax this film is brought to a close. Presenting inimitable James Cagney with all the thrills for which the popular red-headed star is famous, but offering him in a role such as his admirers have never before seen him. “Great Guy” opens at the Cosy theatre tomorrow. It differs entirely from any of his previous pictures in that it is not merely a pot pourri of sequences loosely strung together, but is a motion picture play in every sense of the word, with a dramatic element introduced logically so that humour and drama is heightened most effectively. Also screening is the first chapter of the great new serial, “The Lone Ranger Rides Again.”
