GEORGE FORMBY IN A NEW COMEDY

A mother with a supposedly weak heart and an undoubtedly strong mind, plus a boss trying to run a twentieth century lingerie business on an eighteenth century mind, are George Formby’s major troubles in his latest film, “Turned Out Nice Again,” opening on Saturday at the Regent Theatre. As ever. George is accompanied by his banjo and, in between jumping from the frying pan into the fire, manages to find time for several new tunes, the most humorous of which is “Auntie

Maggie’s Remedy.” The film is well up to the standard of previous Formby pictures, and provides him with an entirely new story. A rise at the factory and a bride (Peggy Bryan) are rather overshadowed by a pigeon that won’t lay and a domineering mother who insists on accompanying him on his honeymoon. Apart from minor verbal tilts between Formby’s two better halves, all goes well till their first wedding anniversary, when George is sent to look after his firm’s London exhibition.
