COSY THEATRE
■■» “THE MAGNIFICENT FRAUD.” Boasting a daring, timely, provocative story, and a great cast headed by four of the screen’s most sensational performers—Akim Tamiroff, Lloyd Nolan, Mary Boland and Patricia Morison —Paramount’s explosive new drama, “The Magnificent Fraud,” will be finally shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre. The supporting picture is “Million Dollar Legs.” “GRANDAD RUDD.” The change of programme tomorrow will be headed by “Grandad Rudd,” the principal characters being taken by Bert Bailey, Fred MacDonald and Elaine Hamill. This is a return season of the “daddy” of all Australian comedies —in fact, the whole Rudd Family, including Dave, are back again to entertain. They still represent the soul of Australian humour and the senti-, ment which is a religion with the backblocks folk. The supporting feature is “Over She Goes,” featuring Stanley Lupino, Laddie Cliff, John Wood, Gina Malo, Claire Luce, Sally Gray, Judy Kelly and Max Baer. This is a rollicking farcial comedy with merry music tightly packed with breezy situations and delightful dancing, with Stanley Lupino heading the original London stage cast. Made to make the whole world laugh, “Over She Goes” ran for many months in London. “Over She Goes” tells of the adventures of Tommy, Billy and Harry, three exmembers of a vaudeville act, when Harry becomes a peer on the presumed death of his uncle, Lord Drewsden, and is pursued by a title-hunting ex-flame. Four lovely leading ladies support Stanley Lupino in the production, Claire Luce, glamorous as ever in the romantic lead as Harry's fiancee, Gina Malo, as Stanley Lupino’s bright young girl friend, Sally Gray, as Billy's, and Judy Kelly as the beautiful cause of all the trouble. Bertha Belmore gives one of her inimitable comodv characterisa-
tions as the unfortunate Lady Drewsden, who takes Stanley Lupino for her long-lost husband, while Syd Walker and Richard Murdoch add some grand comedy as an old-style police inspector and his young Hendon graduate assistant. John Woods, a handsome young newcomer from Australia, is seen as dashing young Lord Drewsden.
