COSY THEATRE

‘■WOLF CALL.” ( Jack London comes again to the I screen, this time set to music, in Mo- < nogram's “Wolf Cail." which will •be shown tonight at the Cosy ; Theatre. London stories have al- [ ways been popular as pictures. ■ They are full of red-blooded ! action played against a background of ! gorgeous scenery. “Wolf Call” is the I story of a playboy who finds love and • peace in the mighty mountains of the l great north-west. Outstanding in the : cast are John Carroll, as the playboy: j Movita, as Towanah the Indian maid i who helped him find himself: Guy • Usher, rotor Lynn. Wheeler Oakman, j and the dog star. Gray Shadow. j The associate feature is cast in the j same mould as the earlier “Doctor X” | without being in the nature of a sequel Ito it. Wayne Morris is the reporter ! who starts out to conduct a harmless ,■ and not particularly interesting intor- ' view with Angela Morrova (Lya Lys), I a Continental stage star who is finding i success in New York. But he runs i into a first class news sensation when he arrives at the actress’s apartment to I find her lying on the floor with a stab wound in her chest, A good citizen but still a better newspaperman, he ’phones his paper and merely leaves it to the police to road about the crime. They do. The minions of the j law arrive at the fiat to be confronted i with Wayne, who tells them that ho j will be only too pleased to show them j the body. To his dismay the corpse

! has vanished and as it is pretty diffi- ! cult to presume murder without n j body the police conclude that it is just I another newspaper hoax. So doos J Wayne's editor —especially when a livj ing and animated Angela Merrova j shows up at the newspaper office next j day threatening a libel action. Wayne i gets fired. He institutes an investiga- ■ lion of his own. assisted by a young I doctor friend, played by Dennis Mor- ’ gan.
