Jackie Gleason stars in the til
tie role of THE Show Off, -
George Kelly's brilliant three-act
character comedy that has be-
come an American classic, on the
compatible color The Best Of
Broadway" over WBTV tonight
at 10 o'clock. In The Show Off
the star of CHS Television's top
rated Jackie Gleason Show
brings his rare blend of comedy
and dramatic talent to one of the
theater'S beSt-loved characters -
that of Aubrey Piper, a man of
enormous egotiSm whose struggles
to preserve his self respect in the
face of discouraging obstacles con-
stitute entertainment as rollick-
ing as Broadway has ever produc-
ed. Besides the character of Au-
brey, the play satirical in vein
includes a number of mastery
etchings in the characters of "The
Show Offs" family. Aubrey,
who has only small job at a
humble salary, is a trial to the
family into which he has married,
and the heart of the play is his
ability to put up an imposing
front in the most improbable of
manners.
