The Filmgoers' Annual 55 as P.C. JOSSER time, and maintains the most seasoned audience in a roar of merriment. Milton Rosmer, who directed this new Gainsborough picture, has transferred all this merriment to the screen, and Lotinga took a deep personal interest in the production, with the result that the picture is excellent entertainment. P.C. Jimmy Josser is already a well-known character and his screen escapades, first as a cheerfully incompetent constable, then as a private detective engaged to guard the favourite for a big race, and as a waiter, are abundant in humorous touches and funny dialogue. Anyone in need of a hearty laugh should not miss this film. "P. C. Josser " is excellent fare in the form of broad comedy, on traditional music-hall lines. The humour of Ernie Lotinga is of the oldfashioned type, which has everything to commend it. There is a joyous enthusiasm about Lotinga's impersonation of the incompetent police constable which is infectious and wholly irresistible. ■ **
