26 min. The first showing in this house of Cressy’s new act, entitled, “A City Case,” using Miss Hodges as an assistant. It is a typical Cressy playlet, full of laughs and held the closing spot most acceptably. At the conclusion of the act Cressy stepped out of his character and made the best six-minute speech explaining the Army Girls’ Tobacco Fund movement that has been made in this house for a long while. During the war picture, which closes the show, the ushers are passing the contribution box and if the appreciation given to Mr. Cressy’s first effort is any criterion to go by, the campaign should be most successful.
