The regular showing of the picture begins on Friday. Joe Cook is a new and decidedly distinctive acquisition to the cinema, and his own original type of humor will undoubtedly duplicate on the sereen the success it has already at- tained on the stage. He has earned for himself the unique title of “the one-man show,” based upon his yer- satility.
