COSY THEATRE.
“GENTLEMEN OF THE NAVY.” The first definite pictures permitted by the American Government of the doings of the army and navy are displayed in Paramount’s “Gentlemen of the Navy,” a> dramatic story laid in and around the United States Naval Academy, featuring Sir Guy Standing, Richard Cromwell, Tom Brown, Rosalind Keith. This feature will be shown at the Cosy Theatre to-day at '2.15 and 7.45 p.m. Officials of the Naval Academy opened up all doors to the motion picture workers, and permitted them to make pictures of everything in the academy which they wished to show on the screen. The result is that for the first time the real, inside story of how America trains her sons to be sea fighters’ is told in “Gentlemen of the Navy.” While “Gentlemen of the Navy ’ ’ was being made President Roosevelt invited the director of the picture, Alexander Hall, and the leading flayer, Sir Guy Standing, to visit him in the White House. The chief executive listened with deep interest to the story of the film. Reserves at W. G. Perry’s, ’phone 2496.
