“FOUR WIVES” ''Four Wives,” sequel to last year’s , “Four Daughters,” will have its local ! showing on Friday and Saturday at the , Cosy Theatre. “Four Wives,” irj which Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola Lane and Gale Page play the title , roles, features the same cast as “Four Daughters,” including John Garfield, ' who died in the original story. He returns in vision form in tho new picture. Others in the original family portrait who are prominent in “Four Wives” are Jeffrey Lynn, Claude Rains, May Robson, Frame. McHugh, Dick Foran ; and Vera Lewis, the gossipy “gate swinger” of “lour Daughters.” There is a new aud very deligntfui addition to the family, too. Eddie Albert, tfie young comedy star of 41 Brother Rat, ’ ’ plays the young doctor for whom Rosemary Lane ’successfully sets her wedding bonnet in the film. Rosemary, you will remember, is the only one oi the four dauguters who didn’t 4 ‘got her man” in the earlier picture. Also added to the cast is Henry O’Neill, in the role of Albert’s father. Still other additions to the family tree are lour girl babies. First of these to make her appearance in the film is tho year-old child which is adopted by Lola Lane and Frank McHugh in tho story. Then Priscilla gives birth to a girl baby, and Lola caps that by having twin girls. “Four Wives” takes up the story of the Lemp family where “Four Daughters” left off, and is, if possible, even more heart-warming, wholesome entertainment, with a good sprinkling of laughs, than its predecessor. Included in tho first half is a special short which provides 30 minutes of sheer entertainment. This is “Cavalcade of Academy .Awards” and is probably tho fines; I short subject in firm history. Over IOU j stars are featured and shots from all the top pictures from “Wings” to [“Gone With the Wind” are shown.
