COSY THEATRE

“EVERYBODY SING.” A musical picture that will appeal to I opera lovers and “swing” addicts alike, will be shown tonight at the Cosy Thea-, tre in “Everybody Sing.” Allan Jones and Judy Garland, as the singing chef and the swinging schoolgirl are outstanding in their singing, dancing and acting. The less audience should appreciate the comedy work of Fanny Brice, Reginald Owen, Billie Burke, Reginald Gardiner and Lynne Carver. Miss Brice does one of her burlesque Songs and dances to the tune of “Quainty, Dainty Me.” “Maisie,” representing great entertainment, is the associate feature. Maisie is Ann Sothern and she is co-featur-ed with Robert Young in this new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer comedy drama of the great open spaces that if full of laughs and just as full of dramatic situations. Imagine a honky-tonk showgirl landing in Big Horn, Wyoming, with a troupe to play the opera house during Rodeo Week and suddenly finding she’s stranded when the company manager disappears with all the funds. Imagine the same wise-cracking, manshy girl taking a job with a carnival and getting herself arrested the first day on a charge of stealing the wallet of Slim Martin, manager of a ranch. Imagine her setting out to square accounts with this same Slim Martin and falling in love with him instead. That is the framework of the story of “Maisie,” and Robert Young plays Sim Martin.
