COSY THEATRE
“THE STAR MAKER.” The world's famous exponent of popular 1 song, Bing Crosby, will be seen in a new comedy drama with music, “The Star Maker,” tonight at the Cosy Theatre. Based on the amazing career of the famed showman, Gus Edwards, the picture casts Crosby as “The Star Maker,” a penniless song writer who is convinced that he is going places in show business. It takes Crosby through the chief incidents of Edwards’s career, shows him succeeding with kiddie shows, rebuffed by the Gerry Societj r for having children perform after ten o’clock, finally trying to win success on the radio. A great supporting cast includes Louise Campbell, Ned Sparks, Laura Hope Crews, Walter Damrosch and Linda Ware, sensational fourteen-year-old singing discovery. The picture is replete with song, with Bing Crosby singing such Gus Edwards’s favourites as “In My Merry Oldsmobile,” “School Days,” “Jimmy Valentine” and many others. The supporting feature is “Bulldog Drummond’s Revenge,” with John Howard again in the title role. In the supporting cast are Louise Campbell, Reginald Denny and E. E. Clive.
