COSY THEATRE.

HAT CHECK GIRL. “The Hat Cheek Girl’’ will bo shown finally at the Cosy Theatre tonight. Reserves at Perry’s, ’phone 2496. “CHANDU.” TO-MORROW’S ATTRACTION. Adapting “Chanda The Magician’’ to the screen from a popular series of radio broadcasts proved to be a graphic demonstration of the greater descriptive powers of the motion picture camera over the spoken word. Whereas much of the nightly fifteen minutes of the radio time was given over to describing the setting of the mystery drama, the screcri version gets this across in one flash of the camera eye, and with far more realism, and effectiveness. Thus, in the Fox feature film, coming to the Cosy Theatre tomorrow the radio episodes of over a year are presented in tense dramatic form that is said to be thrilling entertainment. “Chandu, ” is portrayed by Edmund Lowe, who ' once before, in “The Spider,” gave a splendid performance as a magician. Princess Nadji, Chandu’s beloved, is played by Irene Ware, New York “Vanities” beauty who makes her screen debut in the picture. Roxor, whose diabolical scheme to destroy the world motivates the plot, is enacted by Bela Lugosi, whose lead in “Dracula” earned him the title of “King of All Screen "Monsters. ”
