THE MAJESTIC “NO LIMIT” The hilarious A.T.P. comedy, “No Limit,” which is coming to the Majestic Theatre to-morrow, b-ings to the screen for the first time a brilliant new comedy team in George Formby and Florence Desmond. George Forby has for long been recognised as one of the greatest stage comedians in England. Ho has been touring the length and breadth of the country for irrany years now, and everywhere he goes he meets with tremendous success. He has withstood the call to the svre>n until this pressing offer from A.T.P. came along. The result will certainly give him no cause to regret his decision. Florence Desmond has a style of comedy all her own. She eac lay claim to being the world’s greatest impersonator, her impersonations of fam/nis Hollywood stars being positively uncanny. .Most people have heard her doing these on records, and also in previous films such as “Radio Parade of 1935,” and “Gay Love.” But she has plenty of acting ability, quite apart from the accomplishment, and she always welcomes an opportunity of displaying it. — __ i
