COSY THEATRE

“RHYTHM IN THE SADDLE.” Tonight there will be shown, a great western success, “Rhythm in the Saddle,” featuring the ever-popu-lar Gene Autry in his most successful role —a story alive with action, adventure and many popular’ western numbers rendered in the star’s best style. The settings are beautifully photographed and it is small wonder that this picture has broken records everywhere. Discarding their torn shirts and tattered trousers to put on the brass-buttoned uniforms of messenger boys, two of the Dead End Kids, Billy Halop and Huntz Hall, join forces with the “Little Tough Guys” in Universal picture, “Call A Messenger,” the associate feature. Presenting members of the two popular juvenile star groups in a story which offers contrast to the grim roles in which they first won recognition, the picture is said to blend laughter with whirlwind drama and suspense. Heading the supporting cast is Robert Armstrong as the man who gives the boys a chance to go straight; Mary Carlisle as Halop’s sister; and Anne Nagel as the pretty girl clerk whose beauty inspires ,the youths to fight on the side of the law. Others include Victor Jory, Larry Crabbe, El Brendel, and Jimmy Butler. Also screening is chapter 14 of the great serial, “The Lone Ranger Rides Again.”
