Fields returned to the scene of his success of a year ago and was given an ovation that only the Broadway crowd can give a lovable character. They all really love Fields he's that kind of a guy and he gave unstintingly of his talents opening night.

Oberg pocketed his dream check, the curtain rang down and the picture program continued with a feature short entitled: 'A DREAM COMES TRUE!"
