AMUSEMENTS

COSY THEATRE. TWO FEATURE PROGRAMME. Two feature films, “The Man Outside,” described as a mystery drama with a spice of comedy, and “Son of the Border,” are included in the new programme to be presented at the Cosy Theatre again this evening. A British Real Art production, “The Man Outside,” deals with the adventures of one Captain Fordyce. Inheriting an old country house from his uncle, he is perplexed by the movements of a mysterious stranger who has been seen by the servants hanging around the grounds. He is explaining the happenings to his friend, Harry Wainwright, who lias dropped in on him from out of the blue, when affairs are brought to a head by the murder of Gore, the chauffeur. The slamming of a door by an irate police inspector discloses a will left by the uncle, and this in turn leads to the cause of all the trouble — diamonds from a Hatton Garden robbery. Bit by bit the mystery is solved, the climax coming in a startling and unexpected manner. Henry Kendall is starred, and there is a capable supporting cast. “Son of the Border” is a spirited story of banditry and adventure in the United States. Seats may bo reserved at Perry’s, ’phone 249(3.

THE REGENT. “THE SONG YOU GAVE ME.” All the ingredients that go to make a really brilliant picture are said to

be included in “The Song You Gave Me,” the new 8.1. P. Film, which is to be shown again at the Regent this evening. The picture is described as a musical comedy romance of refreshing gaiety and subtle weave, guaranteed to charm the. most ardent and critical filmgoers. Two of the brightest stars in the film constellation, Bebe Daniels and Victor Warconi, were especially chosen to play the leads; Paul Stein, the eminent American director, was responsible for the production; the story is an original one, which gives ample scopetio the director and stars, and theMbackgrounds, both musical and artiafie, are said to be as ravishing as anything that has emanated from Hollywood. The story is that of Mitzi Hansen, spoilt darling of Vienna, and employer of a secretary whose superb indifference and haughty efficiency, together with his personal charm and ability as a song-writer, render him desirable as an admirer. Just when the singer’s coterie had gathered at the theatre for her evening performance, however, he would vanish, to appear again precisely at eleven—the very embodiment of secretarial servitude. While tracking down his dark secret, Mitzi discovered another which gladdened her heart and made her forget all but the man she loved. Bebe Daniels, as Mitzi, is seen in what is described as one of the finest performances of her career. She is heard in two numbers notable for their haunting refrains.
