COSY THEATRE
“KNIGHTS OF THE RANGE.”
The final screening of this exciting Zane Grey story of the great west takes place this evening.
“ROSE MARIE.”
No matter how much you liked “Naughty Marietta,” you will again enjoy “Rose Marie.” Again starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, this Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production screens at the Cosy Theatre tomorrow. Like its forerunner, “Rose Marie” was directed by W. S. Van Dyke and pro- | duced by Hunt Stromberg, who again | combined their talents to give this picture one of the finest productions to come out of Hollywood in a long time. Replete with haunting music, a tender love story, magnificent photography and backgrounds, it is truly the film sensation of the year. Miss MacDonald plays the name role, an opera star who travels disguised into the wilds in search of her dissolute brother, a j criminal from justice. Nelson Eddy/ portrays Sergeant Bruce, as fine a “Mountie” as ever rode a horse. Assigned to bring the criminal to justice, there is the thrust of personal duty when these two meet and fall in love. With all its outdoor scenes made against natural backgrounds of surpassing beauty in the mountain-ink' country of the Sierra Nevadas. “Rot Marie” is a pictorial work of art. The musical numbers are brilliantly staged and brilliantly sung. One of them, the Totem Pole sequence, is peopled b? more than a thousand dancers. Spectacular in its giant effects it will go on record as one of the most thrilling scenes ever brought to the screen. A strong supporting cast includes Jarno- ( Stewart, Reginald Owen, Allan Jones. George Regas. Robert Greie. Un' 1 nn rl Lucien Littlefield. £ The supporting subjects inclu- 1 - £ latest Air Mail News and a bright mu- £ sical noveltv number. “Swing Hotel.” 1
