COSY THEATRE

■■TROUBLE BREWING." "Trouble Brewing,’’ which will be ■ shown tonight at the Cosy j Theatre, is undoubtedly George 1 Formby’s funniest film, eclipsing even I his Keep Your Seats Please" and “It’s 'in the Air," for hearty laughs. In the new story George has an excellent part as a printer’s compositor who fancies himself as a detective, and if you can imagine. Formby as a super sleuth, i you will have some idea of the fun in I store for you here. His escapades i whilst trying to entrap a gang of I crooks are an absolute riot. One par- > ■ ticularly episode is where George de- \ putises for the horoscope writer of the paper and innocently causes his friend to believe that a certain horse will win a race and enable them to make a great deal of money. Of course. George doesn't know his pal Bill has taken it from the day’s horoscope, neither is Bill aware that George has written the column. Off to the races they go and George’s savings are invested on a horse is left right behind. A stirring tale of an idealistic young lawyer who is forced to prosecute his J best friend for a crime he did not j commit is Monogram’s “Gang Bullets.” i the associate feature. A gangster picture with a new twist. “Gang Bullets" has its harrowing moments as well as its dramatic ones, for it is filled with action from the start. Outstanding performances are turned in by Anne Nagel as Wayne’s daughter; Robert Kent, as John; and Charles Trowbridge as Dexter Wayne. A particularly ominous Big Bill is Morgan Wallace, and good bits are donated by John Merton and J. Farrell MacDonald.
