Opera House
Now Showing: George Formby in:
“Get Cracking.”
George Forffiby (Britain’s ace comedian) is now on the screen of the Opera House, in his latest riot of fun and humour.
"Get Cracking,” an “all-in” or “allout” hilarity show, just packed with laughter. This time George is a corporal in the Home Guard, in which he gets into all kinds of misadventures!. His rush to the railway station on an auto cycle to get possession of a Vickers gun before his rival on a motor cycle, ends up with a head-on A secret weapon he invented to make the world a safe place to live in makes for mirth-provoking entertainment. Then there are three big song hits-, sung in true Formby style: “Under the Blasted Oak"; “Home Guard Blues”; and “Get Cracking”. Regent Theatre TO-DAY: “You Came Along” ctar- . ring Robert Cummings, Don Defore and Lizabeth Scott. Don DeFore and Lizabeth Scott. A fast moving story about three fast living flyers on furlough, who have
no past and no future, but only the gaiety of to-d'ay to trade for ail their to-morrows. You’ll laugh as these three wild and willing flyers go chasing blonds from coast to coast with their gorgeous girl chaperone. Robert Cummings can really | be himself for he plaiys the part of
.a flyer who gets romantically involved with the lovely Lizabeth Scott. He is equally effective in both the brighter and more serious moments and the film has as much sprightls r humour as it has deep sincerity. Lizabeth Scott who makes her screen debut is the year’s most
exciting ‘discovery. Don DeFore wi be remembered for his performance in “The Affair of Susan”. “You came Along” is a gay tender story you will long remember. An excellent supporting programme includes: latest newsreels, Popeye Cartoon and technicolour Noveltoon.
