TOWN HALL “TURNED OUT NICE AGAIN.” At the matinee tomorrow afternoon and in the evening will be shown the greatest of George Formby’s pictures, “Turned Out Nice Again,” As champion “sucker” at the beginning, he comes out strong in the middle, fades into poverty, and emerges off top at the end, in this lavishly-mounted, fastmoving domestic comedy that makes as much as possible of Formby’s unique brand of comedy.
