Jack Hobbs (1893–1968) was a British stage and film actor who appeared in more than forty films. After making his debut in the 1915 silent The Yoke Hobbs appeared in a mixture of leading and supporting roles in both the silent and sound eras. He played the hero in several quota quickies of the 1930s, including All That Glitters (1936).[1] He was cast as a smooth-talking villain in two George Formby films No Limit (1935) and It's in the Air (1938)
