Crater tan Comedy Delights Audience There's fun and plenty of It at the Crate rian theatre, where "Cowboy from Brooklyn" opened its three day run yesterday to highly appreciative capacity audiences, who kept the theatre rocking with laughter. Comedies don't come any funnier than this musical saga of a cowboy who never rides the range because he's scared to death of horses. With the exception of a few sentl mental interludes and some musics: moments practically every minute of "Cowboy from Brooklyn," which has Pat O'Brien, Dick Powell and Pris- cllla Lane In the featured spots. Is one continual round of mirth. Some of the songs are old cowboy ballads, but there are five new tunes the catchiest undoubtedly being "Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride." The show gets off to a flying start when Pat O'Brien, as a vacationing Broadway theatrical producer, mis takenly assumes that Dick Powell who Is being paid to entertain the dudea at a Wyoming dude ranch, an honest-to-gosh cowboy. Dick aa actually a Brooklyn boy who has never ridden a horse and is frightened at the mere thought of getting into a saddle. Nevertheless Pat takes him back to New York and makes him a success as a croon ing cowboy. When it becomes necessay for Pa to prove that his singer Is a real cow boy, he arranges to have Dick denv onstrate his talents at a rodeo.
