Train Bobbery,” starring Tom Mix in the role of Turn Gordon, a western detective, I told Mix of a real life robbery simi- ! lar to the film story they were enact- ; ing. In “The Great K. and A.

There were fifteen sacks in the.shipment. “The Great K. and A. Train Robbery,” is coming to the Cosy de Luxe Theatre. * * * * “LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE ’EM.” Starting on Saturday at the Cosy de Luxe. A peculiar bit of psychology is contributed by the heroine’s of “Love ‘Em and Leave ’Em,” Paramount’s latest Frank Tuttle production featuring Evelyn Brent, Lawrence Gray and Louise Brooks, which arrives at the Cosy de Luxe Theatre on Saturday. “You’ve got to love ’em and leave ’em. If he decides to walk out beat him to the gate. When one leaves, get another. Aim for the man higher up and if you can’t take an elevator—walk. You’ll get there just, the same!” Louise Brooks plays Janie, the flapper who fools and forgets. In fact, she fools her sister Marne, to such an extent that Maine’s

sweetheart forgets her and falls for Janie. .Then, Mame, wakes up. “If one can play, so can two. And if two can get away with it—just watch number three. The future will find her lovin’ and leavin’.!” ♦ * ♦ ♦ “PROWLERS OF THE NIGHT. ’ Saturday and Monday evenings only at the Municipal Theatre, we show this attraction, The company which made “Prowlers of the Night, ” the UniversalBlue Streak Western broke some climatic records while on location.

The remaining exteriors were “shot” at San., Diego Calif. The cast includes Fred Humes Barbara Kent, “Slim” Cole, John T. Prince, Joseph Belmont and Walter Maehlc. * * * * “THE SHOW.” Wednesday’s special attraction at the Cosy de Luxe. Into a life that by its very nature is filled with change, John Gilbert believes in bringing the utmost variety possible. Every screen role that he has portrayed is vitally different from all others, and transports him into an entirely new sphere of thought and action, for which a correspondingly new emotional expression is necessary. Witness his performances in “The Snob,” “The Big Parade.” And probably the most strikingly different of all his parts is that of Cock Robin in “The Show,” his new starring vehicle for Metro-Goldwyn-Maycr coming on Wednesday next to the Cosy do Luxe Theatre. This picture is a powerful ami compelling romance of the Hungarian underworld ami a side-show com puny of entertainers. It was directed bv

Tod Browning, the director of “The Unholy Three,” and is thus cram med with genuine thrills and moments of intense excitement.

Renee Adorec, who was Gilbert’s inspiration in “The Big Parade,” is once again his sweetheart in “The Show,” and gives a portrayal that proves beyond doubt her supremacy as a dramatic star. Lionel Barrymore is also in the cast. ♦ ♦ * ♦ “THE BETTER OLE.” Stars on Wednesday next at the Municipal Theatre. Syd. Chaplin’s latest comedy classic, Warner adaptation of Bruce Bairnsfather’s world-famous story of the funny side of the war “The Better ’Ole,” comes to the Municipal Theatre on Wednesday next.

Chaplin laughter classics, and on its performances to dale, looks like being the greatset. The antics of Old Bill, Bert and All’ behind the German lines in the disguise of a horse, and later as Fritz soldiers, being absolutely the funniest episodes ever recorded by a camera. A big cast of funmakers supports Syd., including Harold Goodwin, Theodore Lorch Ed. Kennedy, Charles Gerranl (all of whom appeared in “The Man on the Box”), Doris Hill, Toni McGuire, Jack Ackroyd, Hank Mann and Tom Kennedy. TO-NIGHT’S ATTRACTIONS.

COSY DE LUXE. The principal roles in “Tin Hats ” a comedy-romance of the Army of Occupation in Germany are played by Conrad Nagel, Claire 'Windsor, George Cooper, Bert Roach and Tom O’Brien. Claire Windsor is u vision as the heroine of the story. Her regal beauty is again in evidence, caused principally by the guwus whicli she wears, and the old-fashioned headdress of 1919. Conrad Nagel is developing into one of our foremost comedians and is creating a type of comedy essentially his own. The production was directed by Edward Sedgick for Metro-Goldwn-Mayer, and with it he steps into the limelight as one of the foremost comedy directors. Many scenes, show marked attention to lighting, an artistic camera effects seldom found in a comedy. A supporting programme of comedies and gazettes is shown as well. ►Saturday Afternoon. Tom Mix is right in his element in “The Great K. and A. Train Robbery” drama which is based on the great story by Paul Leicester Ford, and will be screened at the Cosy for the matinee. Tom gets in his masterly work with the lasso, his guns and Tony, the wonder horse, during the course of his protrayal of Tom Gordon, detective, who has been assigned to nip the progress of railroad bandits. Experts who have previewed the film declare it to be the finest thing that Mix has ever done. “It has as much action as a cyclone,” one reviewer
