TWO FEATURE PICTURES. i , the ty ° featares which are included in the new programme to be presented at the Cosy Theatre to-mor-row The World, the Flesh and the Devil is a crime story told with clear narrative skill, capably characterised and realistically presented in unusual dockside settings, the film gaining its title from a Thames waterside publichouse known as “The World, the Flesh and the Devil.’ Nicholas Brophy, a crooked lawyer, learns from his dying mother that he is the illegitimate son of Sir James Hall. He contrives to cheat the baronet’s rightful heir, Robert, by faking evidence to prove that he and Robert were exchanged at birth. The only person who can disprove his claim is Mrs. Stanger, a typical dockland innkeeper. Brophy effectively silences the old lady by strangling her, but Nemesis in the shape of the dead woman’s son tracks Brophy down, and eventually beards him .in his late mother’s dockside pub, “The World, the Flesh and the Devil! ’• Harold Huth is exceedingly good as the unscrupulous Brophy. 8. Victor Stanley is amusing in the Cockney role of young Stanger, and Isla Bevan makes an attractive heroine. The second attraction, “The Cheyenne Kid,” is' a story of the spirited modern West of America, with a background of thrills suggesting the ’49 days when six-shoot-ers and cottonwoods hemp-hung with outlaws prevailed. Tom Keene is starred, with Mary Mason as heroine and Roscoe Ates in support. Reserves at Perry’s, ’phone 2496:
