COSY THEATRE.
“MALA THE MAGNIFICENT.”
The grandeur of the earth’s white mantle of snow at the North Polo is shown in “Mala the Magnificent,” an epic of the Arctic filmed by Col. IV. S. Van Dyke for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. This picture is the current attraction at the Cosy. Thousands of miles of ice and snow jwovide a background for the greatest record of a native people ever made on film. One scene shows the “Midnight Sun” streaking a track across the ice for fully two hundred miles with the figure of a native in the foreground dwarfed to a tiny speck. Captain Peter Freuchen’s thrilling story of life and love among the natives in this northernmost point inhabited by mankind has been faithfully and beautifully recorded. Mala, mighty hunter and leader of his tribe, is the centre of a powerful drama in which the wrong done to his Eskimo wife by a white man is vividly revenged. Reserves at Perry’s, ’phone 2496. “Damaged .Lives” is announced as the next attraction starting on Wednesday.
