As Jimmy Jones he is studious and conscientious, passing all his studies at the head of his class. As Bill Jones he would rather play football than ec.t, studies are just a necessary evil.

Regent Theatre Now Showing: George Formby in “IT’S TURNED OUT NICE AGAIN.” This is comedy champion Formby’s latest, which opens at the Regent Tneatre to-day, and thisi time the inimitable George is seen in the role of an employee in an outdated underwear manufactory, with unscrupulous rivals, an anachronistic boss and a termangant mother -inlaw. Between the three he has a difficult time, but eventually cashes in on a new type of yarn and gets an executive position in his firm. The role of the chivvied and chased George Pearson is made-to-order for Formby, who, of course, dressed it out with a bevy of songs—some without the accustomed ukelele—and some entanglements with ladies’ underwear.

The note on negligee is indeed struck hard and often, and not only are there mannequin displays of feminine underwear, but a personal investigation of the leading lady’s more intimate equipment and an academic discussion on who is wearing which and what they are called! Formby is in top form and registers probably his best performance to date. As foil for Formby, Peggy Bryan is a cute little lady who has vivacity and charm. Mackenzie Ward delivers a well-groomed performance as the boss’s son, and O. B. Clarence, veteran character actor, shows that veterans can be depended upon to deliver the goods. Edward Chapman does full credit to his role as Formby’s uncle, while Ronald Ward gives a polished performance as the cad in the piece. ”
