“A Game of Con”: -27 min. F.S. 2 shows. On at 8:48. John is certainly the real goods in a good act. It is dealing with an Irish contractor who has been “out for a night” and the next morning is led to believe that he has committed all sorts of foolish and scandalous things by a man who brings him home and who is the accomplice of the adventuress in the case. Between them they manage to fleece their victim leaving him to believe that they have been his good Samaritan. There is abundant fun throughout, and Kelly himself is irresistible. The finish was strong. There is no doubt about the success of the sketch with our audiences. Think Kelly is drawing money to the house, and will continue to do so.
