COSY THEATRE

“TUNDRA.” “Tundra” which will be shown tonight at the Cosy is one of the most unusual stories to come to the screen. Here is a refreshing picture that should please audiences generally. It is laid in an Alaskan wilderness, with all types of animals sharing honours with Del Cambre, the featured player. In fact, two bear cubs found by Cambre in his trek across the Arctic tundra, provide most of the laughs and they will be popular with adults as well as youngsters. The picture is full of thrills, with icy avalanches, musk oxen, starving sled dogs and other animals endangering the hero’s life. Cambre, “the flying doctor” is on his way to an isolated, plague ridden settlement when his plane crashes in the sea. He starts his trek across snow, marshes, glaciers and through a forest. His only companions are the bear cubs, with the mother bear usually in pursuit. The associate feature “Brother Rat and a Babe” is full of laughter and is even better than its famous predecessor “Brother Rat.” Boasting a superb cast headed by Priscilla Lane, Jane Bryan, Eddie Albert and Arthur Treacher, it sparkles with wit and cheering situations. ,
