Praise For Jack Buchanan's Own Production

TA.UK BUCHANAN’S own production company has completed the G.B.D. attraction. "The Sky’s the Limit.” The British critics are giving it big praise. Of it the "News Chronicle” critic wrote “There is something about Jack Buchanan. . . . Beyond the endearing drollery, the soft attractive voice,_ the lazy step-dancing, the hint, of fragility, there is an entirely personal quality that eludes his imitators. He can make a feast of enjoyment out of anything. In one episode here he has dashed into a cupboard to avoid his enemy, comes out with an accidentally blackened face, stumbles into the man he doesn't want to see, looks into a mirror, notices the discolouration and glides at once into the speech and action of a coon. It is irresistibly comic, and I can think of. no one, except Charlie Chaplin, whose pantomime would have given it the same flavour.”

TAMES RAGLAN,, the young English ° actor who plays the part of Craig in Cinesound’s “Lovers and Luggers.’ was closely associated with the late Edgar Wallace, and is a personal friend of the Wallace family. He appeared in the first silent Wallace picture. “The Forger,” and subsequently appeared in other Wallace thrillers. He was seen on both stage and screen in “The Alan Who Changed His Name.” He also played in the film. “Red Aces,” whicluj>was personally directed by Edgar Wallace. “Jimmy” Raglan, as he is popularly known, used to visit Switzerland regularly with Brian, son of Edgar Wallace, for the snow sports.
