COSY THEATRE
‘■THE HOUSEMASTER.” Otto Kruger gives the best performance of his career in the title role of “Housemaster,” the Associated British screen version of lan Hay’s long-run-ning play which will be shown tonight. “Housemaster” is a bright and breezy comedy with a sympathetic and human note underlying its humour, the action of which takes place almost entirely within the walls of a large English Public School. Otto as the housemaster, a dry-humoured bachelor devoted to his boys, has three pretty wards descend upon his school. These are played by Diana Churchill, Rene - Ray and fifteen-year-old Rosamond Barnes.
“Bulldog” Watson stumbles across clues to sabotage attempts and follows them up. The authorities are not impressed. They even suggest that he is not quite right in head. What follows is a skilful blend of comedy and melodrama and with Jack Buchanan as “Bulldog” Watson, one can rely upon a full measure of entertainment in “Bulldog Sees It Through,” the associate feature.
