REGENT THEATRE
“LAUGH IT OFF.”
“Laugh It Off,” which will be shown tonight, is unmistakably patterned for wartime popular entertainment. The story opens on the very day wax' 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.
