AMUSEMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. “THE LOVE PARADE.” “The Love Parade,” that sumptuous and exceptional picture starring Maurice Chevalier, now showing twice daily at tic Cosy Theatre ■for to-day and to-morrow, is the story of a young man attached to the embassy of a mythical kingdom whose exploits in Paris get him into trouble. He is sent back to his Kingdom to report to the Queen, and takes his personal servant with him. Just as the master finds favour in the grace of the Queen, so the servant becomes friendly with the Queen’s maid. It is these two who provide the comedy for the picture. They are Lupine Lane and Lillian Rotih. Maurice Chevalier, as the philandering young attache at the Paris Embassy of the mythical kingdom of Syb a.nia, is delightful and his singing superb. Eventually he becomes Prince Consort, only to find that he has no power, even over the servants. How he turns the tables is full of laughs and intriguing situations. Jeanette MacDonald, famous Broadway stage singing star plays the role of the Queen to perfection. Miss MacDonadl has a remarkable singing voice which records perfectly. There is -a good supporting programme of sound featurettes. Patrons are advised to book immediately at Vare’s for the stalls or Dress Circle.
