COSY THEATRE
“Charlie McCarthy, detective” Charlie McCarthy attains the status of a star in his new film, “Charlie McCarthy, Detective,” which will be shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre. Of course, Edgar Bergen shares the starring position with Charlie, edging in on every one of Charlie’s scenes but not attempting to steal anything from McCarthy. Mortimer Snerd, another of Bergen's family, is also starred. “Charlie McCarthy, Detective,” is a murder mystery story, with Charlie (with Bergen’s aid) ultimately unravelling the maze of twisted clues and pinning the crime on the guilty party. The story is unusually sound, and with Bergen’s inimitable comedy, the combination produces one of the top entertainment offerings of the season. Robert Cummings, Constance Moore and John Sutton furnish the romantic element'of the story, with Cummings-as a magazine columnist, Miss Moore as Bergen’s partner in his night club act, and Sutton as Miss Moore’s sweetheart. In other important roles are Louis Calhern, Edgar Kennedy, Harold Huber, Milburn Stone, Samuel S. Hinds, Ray Turner, Alec Craig and Warren Hymer. There is a strong supporting programme.
