Martin thanked members and visitors for their attendance and expressed a hone that they had all spent a pleasant afternoon. “COME ON, GEORGE” George Formby’s current mirthquake, ‘‘Come On George,’’ which comes to the Elite Theatre, Temuka, to-day, is a riotous horse-racing comedy, the picture he has always wanted to make since he left .he racing stables to become a screen, stage and radio star. Film reviewers unanimously acclaim it his best and funniest film . . . and George admits he never enjoyed making a film so much as he did “Come On. Gcoree.”
