BROWN A chance to see the real Joe E. Brown as well as the character known to theater audiences all over the United States, is being afforded theatergoers at the Alcazar this week where "The Show Off" is in the second week of its limited engagement. At the conclusion of his performance of Aubrey Piper, the blatant, half-baked braggart of the George Kelly play, Brown steps out of character, perches himself in an easy chair and discusses life, love and the pursuit of happiness with his audience, illustrating his points with anecdotes told as only he can tell them. Brown's "at home" follows no set pattern and is as likely to take one form or another depending on his mood and that of his customers.
