AMUSEMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. “THE WOLF OF WALL STREET.” George Bancroft will be beard as well as seen for the first time at the Cosy Theatre when the Paramount alltalking picture, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” is screened fer two nights, commencing this afternoon at the matinee. The story centres round the New York Stock Exchange, which was captured the interest of the public so much in the past year. Bancroft portrays the role of a stock broker who brings ruin upon himself voluntarily when his domestic life is dashed on the rocks of unhappiness. The story offers innumerable opportunities for gripping drama and dialogue throughout which have been captured in an exceptional manner by action and voice on the part of the star and his supporting cast, which, incidentally, is made up of players who have had previous stage experience. The supporting players include Baelanova, Nancy Carroll, Arthur Rankin, Paul Lukas, Brandon Hurst and Crauford Kent. Box plans are now open at Vare’s.

“THE COCK-EYED WORLD.’ ’ A couple of leatherneck Don Juans! That’s a trite way to characteristic Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen as “Sergeant Quirt,” and “Top Sergeant Flagg” in the Fox Movietone all talking production, “The Cock Eyed World,” which will open next Friday at the Cosy. Based on a story written by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson, the picture shows Lowe and McLaglen still in the marines, though it is peace time, but with plenty of fighting in the tropics—and between themselves. Pals, brothers, everything is great until one falls for a “femme.” Then each claims priority and the innocent cause of the trouble must stand by while they tell each other about it. Of their many love affairs, three stick out prominently; one in the tropics with the gorgeous Lily Damita, another in cold Russia with fascinating Lelia Karnelly, and the third at Coney Island with a Teal American girl, Jean Bary. Around these scorching love affairs are incidents of a most human nature, with pathos, tears, smiles, romance and thrills. In addition to the fivo featured players mentioned, the supporting cast is one of first rank. Box plans for the stalls and dress circle open at Vare’s to-mor-row morning, at 9 o’clock.
