COSY THEATRE
“BROADWAY SERENADE.” Packed with musical, romantic and eye-filling thrills, “Broadway Serenade,” starring Jeanette MacDonald, will be shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre. Unlike most films in the musical category, this one contains a story which holds interest from the first scene until the fadeout. In brief, it is the tale of a young married couple, she a singer, he a composerpianist. As a team they play most of New York’s cheap night clubs until a lucky break starts the girl climbing high on the ladder of musical-comedy success. Seldom has Jeanette Mac? Donald had a better opportunity for both her dramatic and vocal abilities. In each case the songs are set against colourful backgrounds. Lew Ayres, as Miss MacDonald’s composer pianist husband, gets his best role to date.
The supporting film, “Free and Easy,” is the story of a fortune hunter whose plans to marry a rich girl is shattered when he meets and falls in love with a girl as poor as himself.
