COSY THEATRE.
“THE MAN WHO RECLAIMED HIS HEAD.” “The Man Who Reclaimed His Head,” which is to be shown again at the Cosy Theatre tonight, is described as the strangest and most powerful screen drama of the season and one that has a timely bearing,, on current events. The picture exposes the activities of international munitions manufacturers in fomenting war, and lays much of the blame for the World War at the door of these professional moulders of public opinion. Claude Rains, Joan Bennett and Lionel Atwill have the leading parts. Other members of an exceptionally fine cast are three-year-old Baby. Jane, Wallace Ford, Lloyd Hughes and Lawrence Grant. Rains, who will be remembered for his powerful performance in the title role of “The Invisible Man,” has the part of a pacifist writer, who is betrayed, by his publisher, a pretended friend. The publisher, Dumont, secretly works with the munition makers and on the outbreak of war uses his influence to have Rains sent to the front and kept there. Dumont then lays siege to Rains’s wife. Tho plot develops to a dramatic climax. Seats may be reserved at Perry’s, ’phone 2496.
