COSY THEATRE

“THE FRONTIERSMEN.”

With his six-guns blazing justice and revenge, “Hopalong Cassidy,” the screen’s favourite action hero, will appear in a new and exciting range drama, “The Frontiersmen,” at the Cosy Theatre tonight. Based on an original Clarence E. Mulford prairie yarn, “The Frontiersmen” shows the struggle of ranchers to keep the village school on the straight-and-narrow in opposition to a crooked mayor, who uses his high office to cover his activities as a cattle rustler and attempts to win over the school-kids to further his aim. William Boyd, who rides again as “Hoppy,” has with him his two loyal saddlemates, George Hayes and Russell Hayden, while the romantic interest is supplied by lovely Evelyn Venable, cast as the desert school teacher. Some of Mark Twain’s most lovable characters live again on the screen in the comedy-drama, “Tom Sawyer, Detective,” the other attraction. “Tom Sawyer, Detective,” deals with the efforts of “Tom” and “Huck" to save “Uncle Silas” from being hanged for a murder he did not commit. Two of Paramount’s boy actors, Billy Cook and Donald O’Connor, are cast as “Tom” and “Huck,” respectively, while some of the famous grown-up characters of the story are played by Phillip Warren, Janet Waldo, Elizabeth Risdon and Porter Hall.
