COSY THEATRE

DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME. Movie fans have seen Leslie Howard and Bette Davis together in a tragedy, a melodrama, and tonight they will present themselves on the screen of the Cosy Theatre in a comedy. This picture, “It’s Love I’m After,” is said to offer conclusive proof that they are ideal team-mates. Howard is offered as a stage actor of the type that used to be called “matinee idol,” and to look at whom all the sentimental young women of Broadway used to cluster about stage doors. Miss Davis is shown as his leading woman. The beautiful and youthful Olivia de Havilland has the part of a smart and wealthy heiress (though she’s as sentimental as the rest of the stage-door fans) who has fallen in love with Howard. With Beverley Roberts once again enacting the part of the business woman —this time as head of a passenger bus company—a Warner Bros, melodrama called “The Daredevil Drivers” dealing with the warfare between her outfit and a rival concern, will be the associate attraction tonight at the Cosy Th'eatre. Dick Purcell, handsome young leading man carries the romantic interest with Miss Roberts. Other well-known players in the cast are Gloria Biondell, Gordon Oliver, Charley Foy, Willard Parker and Donald Briggs.
