DE LUXE THEATRE. Eddie Albert, in "Tho Great Mr. Nobody" at the De Luxe Theatre presents the sort of character one meets occasionally, one who refuses to realise that the world is a hard place, and that one must do many things he does not like.

Nursing his notions with an almost complete disregard of his job, he quite logically finds himself unemployed. Henceforward he really begins to live, and .loan Leslie, William Lundigan, Alan Hale, and John Litel assist in his transformation.
