“As Good As Married," showing at the Cosy theatre, Wood vile, to-night and to-morrow, is a delightful comedy, a worthy successor to such hits as 1 i My Man Godfrey" and “Three Smart Girls." It sparkles from the first scene to the last. The main situation is novel, intriguing and amusing. John Boles is a successful architect lmrrassed by the demands of gold-digging girls and income tax collectors, who threaten to strip him of all his earnings. So what does he do but propose marriage to his secretary, played by Doris Nolan, who takes him up on it because she happens to be in love with him. The ensuing complications will send you into inner handsprings of mirth and amusement. Besides John Boles and Doris Nolan, the cast is unusually large and good, containing such well known players as Walter Pidgeon, Tala. Birell, Alan Mowbray, Ernest Cossart, Esther Ralston, Katherine Alexander, and Dorothea Kent. “As Good As Married" is surefire entertainment, lavishly presented. The associate feature, 11 Let Them Live," is a drama centred round a young doctor and his struggle to improve health conditions. The leads are played by John Howard, Judith Barrett and Nan Grey.
