"Mrs. Eastman's Brooch" featuring Mr. Corrigan and Florence Hackett;
Emmett Corrigan must have a rather weighty opinion of his individual reputation to figure on big time vaudeville for this particular skit. It is merely cheap melodrama, roughly slapped together and, what is more surprising and even disappointing to many who know Corrigan's past performance, coarsely played. The
intruder couldn't pass as a police chief
in a blind man's home. Corrigan's Performance of the role was loose and lacked the expected and essential light
and shade. The climax was weak and the situations equally weak.
