PERSONAL MENTION
WEEKLY PROGRAM AT THE
COZY THEATRE
“Is a girl’s past sin her own?” That
is the question that has been asked
time and again; the Cozy Theatre
presents as its opening number, on
Thursday and Friday nights of this
week, the recent release, “Once a
Sinner”; a powerful drama in which
the patron will find much to think
about. Woven in this drama is the
luxury, beauty, conflict and jealousy
of young love capped with a climax
of emotion to wring the hearts of all
women as it holds the interests of
all men. Its dramatic tension, set in
an atmosphere of lavish richness,
gives pulse pounding emphasis to the
heart throbs of rare romance.
“It Pays to Advertise” is the cap-
tion for Saturday night’s picture.
This “pays to advertise” has been
argued principally from the view-
point of the man who has the ad-
vertising medium to offer when he
approaches a non-advertising mer-
chant. In this play for Saturday
night, however, there is an abund-
ance of comedy that eliminate all
prejudice against advertising argu-
ment, and carries with it a convic-
tion even startling. It is shown, in
this play, that when a young man is
kicked out from home, ne learns to
study the idea of going to work, and
when he hits upon a manufacture of
an article, he decides to. advertise,
and When lie goes broke, or near to
it, his advertising suddenly hits
home. GrtTat!
For Sunday and Monday nights,
“Stolen Heaven”—a rather pathetic
and yet not*#o much, stopy of a young
couple who- adopt, the usual “easy
plan’of living” without knowing the
consequences. The pact agreed to
does not eliminate the desire to con-
tinue living, and reason once de-
tnroned, return, and with it, the de-
sire to make amends takes hold
strong, with the result that the Stol-
en money, used»to live on easily, is
returned. There may and there may
not be a good lesson in this story;
there is, however a good hint, that
the honorable means and manners
have a tendency to overcome heart-
aches and dispel gloom.
Memory will linger, years may
come and go and still there is an
agreeable recalling of the thing we
saw in the past and which we com-
mend. Before the cinema world was
introduced and the modem plays
found place on the bill boards and
screen, the reportoire and one-night
stand companies presented, with a
strong cast, that great heart-touch-,
ing novel, “East Lynne.” Seen time1
and again, the one in the audience
would readily apply the kerchief to
the moist eyes because of the sym-
pathetic influence the presentation in
able hands would offer. This great
drama, now for the first time shown
on the screen, with dialogue, will be
presented at the Cozy Theatre on,
next Tuesday and Wednesday, with-
the prices at 20c for children and
40c for adults. In the old days "we
paid $1.00 and for a gallery seat, 75c.
Preview of the great drama, “East
Lynne” will be offered at 11:15
o'clock Saturday night, April 11. The
full show on next Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, April 14 and 15.
