ALFREDTON TALKIES
TOMORROW NIGHT’S PROGRAMME Six brothers, street musicians by profession, who have an intense disliking of anything that savours of work, follow a naval band and collect money by reason of the passers-by thinking that it is their gutter concert that they hear. Actually, it is the music of the sailors’ band. By a stroke of misfortune, due principally to the cunning of a marine sergeant, they suddenly discover themselves serving in the corps with other sea-faring lads. It is not until they are on the high seas that Alf. one of the musicians, discovers that he has a magic button. He rubs it and from out of nowhere appears the Genii of the Button, who tells him that he is at his command. “Strike Me Pink!” says Alf, and the Genii misconstruing the demand, stripes him pink, with the result that the fleet’s manoeuvres are delayed to inspect what is thought to be the breaking out of a serious disease among the marines. The fun becomes furious as Alf and his five friends realise the illimitable possibilities of the button. “Alf’s Button” will be shown at Alfredton tomorrow night.
