COSY THEATRE
“PATIENT IN ROOM 18.” “The Patient in Room 18,” a mys-tery-melodrama with almost all of its action taking place within the. walls of a hospital, has been scheduled to be the feature attraction at the Cosy Theatre tonight. This thriller is altogether novel, because the detective here involved is able to solve several interdependent crimes while confined in hospital himself, as a patient. Patrie Knowles, young British actor plays the part of this sleuth. With a hospital as a background, it is only natural that the heroine should be a nurse. She is Ann Sheridan. There are not only two mysterious murders in “The Patient in Room 18,” but there is also the theft of £20,000 worth of radium. The other attraction is “Gold Diggers in Paris.” Especially notable because it brings Rudy Vallee back to the screen after an absence of three years, “Gold Diggers in Paris,” has a poke full of nuggets in the form of laughs, catchy tunes, spectacular dancing numbers and, of course, pretty girls. The comedians are Hugh “Wu Wu” Herbert, Allen Jenkins, Mabel Todd, Fritz Feld, Curt Bois, Ed. Brophy and Melville Cooper.
