George Formby’s Confessions
QEORGE FOEMBY, the Lancashire comedian, who will be seen in “It’s In the Air,” has his own ideas of life, and here are some of his current observations: — An inebriated gentleman will get along all right it he only believes half what he sees. The round of modern love seems to be harmony, matrimony, and alimony. Somebody has written that the race is not always to the swill —try and convince a punier that it isn’t. ’St'unny that the only people who believe that money is not all are those who have plenty. These days the dove cl peace must feel like a clay pigeon. The best time to gel married is tomorrow. A constructive critic is one who tells you how good you are. Europe's history seems to have developed into a Hit, or Muss, proposition.
