Read What The Papers At Home Say of
"ALF'S BUTTON"
"A picture which in its whole-hearted humour is a sheer joy," THE REFEREE
"I has real English atmosphere and it is full of uproarious comedy, virtues which will make it one of the most successful talking pictures of the year." SUNDAY PICTORIAL
"All who enjoy broad fun will like this picture."
SUNDAY TIMES
"I think this will prove to be one of the most popular talkies ever made."
EVENING NEWS.
"I recommend this picture: it is entertaining without being silly, it has touches of true comedy and of real sincerity, and it tells its fantastic story well."
