4 ‘THE MAN IN POSSESSION.” Robert Taylor, Jean Harlow and Reginald Owen have the leading roles in “The Man in Possession,” which .screens at the Cosy Theatre, Woodville, to-night and to-morrow. The story of “The Man in Possession” casts Miss Harlow as Mrs Crystal Wetherby, who poses in London society as a wealthy American widow, but who is actually impoverished, and is being pursued by her creditors. When Tay'lor, playing the part of Raymond Dabney', is given a job as sheriff’s officer assigned to watch the personal property of Mrs Wetherby, she induces him to pose as her butler in order not to “give her away” before a man whom she hopes to marry' for his money in order to liquidate her debts. Wince this man turns out to be none other than Dabney’s brother who, under the impression that Mrs Wetherby is rich, similarly plans to marry her for her money', the complications run thick and fast to make one of the merriest and most hilarious screen comedies of the y r ear. A. special feature of the supporting programme is “Every Sunday,” delightful musical short featuring Deanna Durbin.
