COSY THEATRE.
“WHIPSAW.”
Adventure and romance, drama and comedy, are deftly blended in “Whipsaw,” which will be shown at the Cosy Theatre to-day at 2.15 and 7.45 p.m. The picture brings Myrna Loy to the screen in a new hit with Spencer Tracy as her co-star. “Whipsaw” is a story of “angles.” Not only does the locale shift with lightning rapidity from London to New York and thence throughout many mid-western cities, but the mood and the direction of the story shift almost as rapidly. The plot concerns itself with smuggled jewels, which Miss Loy, as a member of an international ring of jewel thieves, is presumed to have in her possession. Tracy is a secret service man,' who attempts to trap her through romantic intrigue. He manoeuvres her into a situation in which she must p-ass as his wife, and the story moves swiftly through a chain of events which keeps excite ment and suspense at fever heat. An excellent supporting cast appears with the stars. Supporting attractions include an amusing Laurel and Hardy comedy. Seats may be reserved at P'erry’s, ’phone 2496.
