REGENT THEATRE
“ADAM HAD FOUR SONS.” “Adam Had Four Sons” will be finally shown tonight. “LAUGH IT OFF.” “Laugh It Off,” which will be shown tomorrow night, is unmistakably patterned for wartime popular entertainment. The story opens on the very day war is declared. A Blackpool concert party finishing its show must break up and its comedian, Tommy Trinder, reports for military duty. Tommy’s adventures with a wartime train service, his rough handling of a tough fellow who turns out to be the sergeant-major, and riotous introduction to the mysteries of army life are incidents that have been neatly knit together by John Baxter’s direction that has constant regard for the general light-heartedness of the piece. Tommy gets together the old concert party and puts on a show that goes with a bang from the start.
