COSY THEATRE. “PRESENT ARMS.” Tiller ’s Sunshine Girls —sixty dancing beauties from England—make their debut in “Present Arms,” which is to be shown again at the Cosy Theatre this evening. Five well-known audiible screen comedians make their debut in this Radio Pictures production —a lively medley of adventure, intrigue and merrymaking in Honolulu, with members of the United States Corps of Marines prominently in the picture.

THE REGENT. “FJFTT FATHOMS DEEP.” Thrills in plenty are promised in “Fifty Fathoms Deep,” which comes to the Regent Theatre to-night. This Columbia picture presents a stirring drama of deep sea adventure, with remarkable underwater scenes. The undersea sound effects are wonderful and there is a dramatic plot. Jack Holt, Loretta Sayers, Richard Cromwell and Mary Doran arc the leading players. The story, in brief, is that of two deep sea divers, Tim Burke and Pinky Caldwell, who are staunch friends in spite of their great difference in age and character. The younger one, Pinky Caldwell, marries a deceitful blonde. She causes a rift between the two friends, making them bitter enemies. They are forced to work together again on a wreck —a yacht which is buried in fifty fathoms of water. Tim descends to the wreck in the midst of a raging storm and discovers the bodies of Pinky’s wife and a well-known man-about-town. In his attempt to hide the evidence and spare his pal he is caught in the wreckage .and is unable to free himself.

Pinky goes down, not so much to help Tim, as to finish their fight. The sight that greets him when he reaches the bottom convinces him that his wife had deceived him, and that Tim was a greater friend than lie deserved. Seats may be reserved at Vare’s, or ring Theatre, ’phone' 2303.
