COSY THEATRE
“THE LONE WOLF SPY HUNT.” One of the most popular criminals in modern fiction, Michael Lanyard, the Lone Wolf, also is one of the most popular heroes on the screen. The Louis Joseph Vance character has figured in silent films, from as far back as 1917, and in talkies. His most recent screen adventure, “The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt,” will be shown tonight at the Cosy Theatre, with Warren William as the suave international thief and Ida Lupino co-featured as a charming young woman determined to wed the man. Warren William will play the title role and Miss Lupino, it is expected, will continue her matrimonial intentions. With Ann Sheridan and Dick Purcell as its stars, a detective film made from a Mignon Eberhart novel called “Mystery House” will be presented by Warner Bros, as the associate feature. The sleuth is “Lance O’Leary.” He is described as an unusual type of mystery solver, who goes about his jobs in an easy and debonair fashion but nevertheless always gets the guilty person. Purcell plays Lance, and Miss Sheridan is a nurse who first fears that her patient has been done away with instead of dying of heart failure, which was what the doctor’s certificate said. Also screening is the 10th chapter of the famous “Lone Ranger” serial.
