COSY THEATRE

"HEART OF THE NORTH." "Heart of the North," the Warner Bros.’ production in technicolour, which opens at the Cosy Theatre tonight. is a thrill-packed and completely authentic tale of that famous law enforcement body of the Canadian north-west, the Royal Canadian Moun.ed Police. Produced on the lavish scale characteristic of all Warner Bros, technicolour specials, the picture has all the elements required by a firstrate outdoor film —adventure, action, suspense, the beauty and interest of unfamiliar landscapes, and a large cast of popular players. Heading the list are such well-liked performers as Dick Foran, Gloria Dickson, Gale Page. Janet Chapman, Allen Jenkins, Patrie Knowles and James Stephenson, and the chief character roles are in the capable hands of actors like Russell Simpson, Joe Sawyer, Joseph King. .Anthony Averill and Arthur Gardner. The first thrilling episode in the story is the holding up by a band of outlaws of a little river steamer that is carrying priceless furs and miners’ gold from the trading post to civilisation. From then on the story details the clever identification by Foran, an officer of the “Mounties,” of the “master mind” behind the hold-up. The associate feature is the thrillpacked drama of undersea warfare, "Submarine D 1..” and featuring George Brent. Pat O’Brien and Wayne Morris.
