COSY THEATRE.
“THE LEMON DROP KID.” Lee Tracy is'in the title role of Paramount’s new Damon Runyon story, “The Lemon Drop Kid,” which comes to the Cosy Theatre to-night, for a performance starting at 7.45. Tracy plays the role of Runyon’s famous “Kid,” a racetrack swindler, who boasts that the horses tell him when they are going to win. Of course the “Kid” is not always as smart as he thinks he is, and following a bad day at the track, he is forced, to make a quick escape and lands in a one horse town where a country girl falls in love with him. In addition to Tracy, the cast features Helen Mack, as the country girl who loses her heart to the fast talking “Kid.” Others taking important parts include William Frawley a the Professor (a typical Damon Runyon character), Minna Gombell as the Professor’s girl friend Henry B. Walthall and Baby Leßoy, one of the screen’s prized infants. There is a good supporting programme. Reserves at 'Perry’s, ’phone 2496.
