REGENT THEATRE

I “COWBOY I BOM BROOKLYN' j Comedy of a very high standard u • contained in “Cowboy from Brooklyn,” which is to conclude to-morrow at the Regent Theatre. In fact, it , is a gem of a thing notably perfornr.icd by a cast vvnich includes Pat (J Brien, Dick i-’orar., Priscilla Lane, j Ann Sheridan, and a host of xn;r...r I character of giciu talent. The sto.y concerns a struggling musician-singer i from Brooklyn, v ho gels tossed off a [ freight train som where in Wyoming, [ while on his way, with two com- •; panions, to Hollywood, fame and fori tune. They arrive at a dude ranch and the singers life is in constant peril, for he sulf-rs from a lieicditarv | phobia against all livestock, and a [ranch is scarcely the place to a.oid j them. A theatrical magnate from i New' York hears the singer, the magnate is on vacation, but he signs up | the singer and rushes hi a back, to .•New York billed «s ‘Vvyomiiig Stev?.” iTnc cowboy is a good ' i.ger, but u. - i fortunately a poor cowboy. A pyjama 'suit was safeguarded like the crown I.jewels, because it was the only one •of its kind in the world and was [necessary to the action of “Torchy Blane in Panama,” Warner B”os. i picture, on the associate programm<. [Lola Lane, in the role of the New [York giil reporter out to unmask a .•bank bandit and get his story for her |paper, pursues him to Panama aboaid a liner. When lie slips ashore, she follows. That’s where the pyjamas enter. For when he captures her spying on him, she manages to hang the i pyjamas out of a window for rescuers ■ i o see.
