REGENT THEATRE
“SOUTH AMERICAN GEORGE.” The one and only George Formby is at the very peak of his comedy form in “South American George,” which will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight and Monday and Tuesday. A terrific riot of fun from start to finish, the picture is Formby’s first big Columbia production, and is without any question his greatest and funniest. As the hapless George Butters, a "gormless ’ lad with operatic ambitions but no ability, Formby is persuaded to impersonate an extremely temperamental opera star who has walked-out on the . show, ad ton whom George bears a strikingresemblance. The fun—and what terrific fun it is!—begins when Formby has to sing in opera for which he has neither the Italian tongue nor the restrained tenor voice, and proceeds through a mad succession of hilarious scenes which are guaranteed to leave any audience doubled-up with laughter.
