In “Playmates.” 19 minutes f.s. Centre door fancy. Four people in a comedy sketch with a little singing. A wealthy widow hires a youngster from Jerry McAuley’s Mission to play with her little son, “Reggie.” Although bearing all the earmarks of a sissie, “Reggie” proceeds to “clean-up” the newcomer with everything from chewing tobacco to boxing-gloves. A funny act, written along original lines, and got the laughs.
