COSY THEATRE
“SILVER ON THE SAGE.” The first “Hopalong Cassidy” outdoor action picture ever to be inspired by a popular song is “Silver on the Sage,” which will be shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre. “Silver on the Sage” brings back William Boyd, George Hayes and Russell Hayden in a punch-packed story from the pen of Clarence E. Mulford. William Boyd, as “Hopalong Cassidy,” gets the toughest assignment of his adventure-pack-ed career when a rustling-king and his twin brother worked together to beat out the boys from “Bar 20.” The mysterious theft of a herd guarded by “Bar 20” and the imprisonment of his pal Russell Hayden on a trumped-up murder charge sends Boyd into action against the outlaws. The other feature is “Sudden Money” which in the form of a sweepstakes fortune hits a typical modern family and causes a million-dollar riot. Charlie Ruggles, a harassed clerk whose youthful ambition was to have an orchestra, plays the sweepstake millionaire, while Marjorie Rambeau will be seen as the wife who gives up her good cooking for bad painting when her husband strikes it rich. Broderick Crawford, as a horse-race fan with a foolproof system, Evelyn Keyes, as a daughter with great social ambitions, and Charles Grapewin, as the grandfather who grins and bears it, are other members of the madcap family.
