COSY THEATRE
"THE MAGNIFICENT BRUTE.” There will be shown at the Cosy Theatre tonight "The Magnificent Brute.” starring Victor McLagfen, Academy Award winner, who introduces the age of steel to the cinema This is the first time that the awe-in-spiring background of a steel mill has been used for a feature screen production. Fantastic flame effects, the glow of molten metal, the bursting showers of steel sparks and grotesque shadows are shown, in marvellous photographic treatment, which heightens the drama enacted by the interesting characters in the tale of primitive men and prime beauties. Victor McLaglen in the title role is cast as a modern swashbuckler with a roving eye. Binnie Barnes gives a • splendid characterisation as a girl who delights in causing men to fight over her. William Hall gives glorious battle to Victor McLaglen in a titanic conflict. The other attraction is “Breezing Home,” starring William Gargan and Wendy Barrie in a breath-taking story.
