The Hulbert brothers performing on a record together.
John Norman "Jack" Hulbert (24 April 1892 -- 25 March 1978) was a British actor, specialising primarily in comedy productions.
Born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, he was the elder and more successful brother of Claude. He was educated at Cambridge and appeared in many shows and revues, mainly with the Cambridge Footlights. He was one of the earliest famous alumni of the comedy club. After Cambridge, he earned recognition and fame performing in musicals and light comedies.
He made his film debut in Elstree Calling (1930); appearing opposite his wife and frequent stage and screen co-star Cicely Courtneidge whom he had married in 1916. His career went through a successful period during the 1930s when he appeared in several films, including The Ghost Train (1931), Love on Wheels (1932) and Bulldog Jack (1935), a tongue-in-cheek homage to the popular Bulldog Drummond films in which Jack was supported by his brother Claude.
Hulbert's popularity waned as the 1930s came to an end, and after the war he and his wife continued to entertain chiefly on stage. In 1975, Hulbert's autobiography, The Little Woman's Always Right, was published. In 1962 he appeared in the BBC radio sitcom Discord in Three Flats, along with Courtneidge and Vic Oliver.
His marriage to Cicely Courtneidge lasted for 62 years until his death. Their relationship is mentioned in the British television series Dad's Army in the episode Ring Dem Bells when Hulbert pulls out of shooting a Home Guard training film to spend time with his wife.
Hulbert died, aged 85, at his home in Westminster, London on 25 March 1978.
Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.
His subsequent career was less successful than his brother's. He began by supporting the Aldwych farceurs before being handed his first lead in a weak B-film with Renee Houston and Binnie Barnes, Their Night Out (1933). His most successful solo film of the mid-1930s being Hello Sweetheart (1935), like most of Hulbert's starring comedies, however, its ambition was strictly small-scale; it seemed that British studios simply didn't see him as a major star. His flagging career was helped with Wolf's Clothing (1936), which starred him as a dithering diplomat, and Honeymoon-Merry-Go-Round (1940), where he played a bumbling bridegroom who unintentionally becomes an ice-hockey star.
He became a very capable partner for Will Hay after that comedian decided he wanted to do without his famous "stooges", Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. Hay's two films with Hulbert, The Ghost of St Michael's (1941) and My Learned Friend (1943), were the most successful of his later vehicles. Claude's film appearances, though, became scarcer as the 1940s wore on. His films, however, were, at best, modest and moderate, sadly lacking in budget, ambition and spark.
Hulbert died in a hospital in Sydney, Australia, whilst ashore from a world cruise with his family.
This special production of Arnold Ridley's stage play The Ghost Train was produced in 1951 especially for Decca to release on LP (LK4040). The cast includes Ridley himself as Saul Hodkin, the Station Master, the part he played in original stage productions of the play. Claude Hulbert is the main star here, as Teddy Deakin and comedy character actor Campbell Singer plays the minor part of John Sterling, as well as adapting and directing this version of the play for Decca. An interesting rarity with a top cast!

"Those Four Chaps" was a combination of comic film actor Claude Hulbert, novelty singer Bobbie Comber, actor Paul England and Max Kester. They performed regularly on BBC radio in the early 30s and released at least four records together, at least two for Broadcast, at least one for Decca and at least one for HMV. This is the second of those, 'Those Four Chaps Go Shopping' which was for some reason issued twice in quick succession as Broadcast 664 then again as Broadcast 684 only twenty records later that same year, 1930. The earlier record, also for Broadcast, was 'The Derby of 1930' (Broadcast 616). They would go to put on record 'Those Four Chaps Taking the Air' (Decca F2597, 1931), and 'Those Four Chaps Taking Possesion' (HMV B8003, 1933).
Bobbie Comber (8th January 1890 - 15th April 1942) was best known for his novelty records with a sea shanty theme, such as 'Barnicle Bill the Sailor'.
Paul England (17th June 1893 - 21st November 1968) appeared on BBC radio and also made a few minor film appearances such as Charlie Chan In London (1934) and a small uncredited part as a detective in The Invisible Man Returns (1940).
Max Kester (11th December 1901 - 14th December 1991) was mostly a film and later television writer. He wrote many radio revue shows for the BBC throughout the 30s. He create and wrote the BBC radio series 'Mr Muddlecombe J.P.' for Robb Wilton from 1937. He also wrote the screenplay for George Formby's last film 'George in Civvy Street' (1946) and went on to write the scripts for the BBC television series Robin Hood in 1953 starring Patrick Troughton (now sadly lost apart from a few photographs). He also wrote a number of books. He was the youngest of the group and also the longest-lived.
Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.

Unfortunately the sound isn't good on thisHulbert record either as the record is in poor condition. I've cleaned it up as much as possible.
Enid Trevor was the real-life wife of Claude Hulbert, Trevor being her maiden name. Born at Richmond, Surrey, in 1900, she is the daughter of the late Colonel Philip Trevor, CBE, and great-grand-niece of David Garrick.. Her stage début was under the management of Dennis Eadie at the Haymarket and Royalty Theatres, when she played cockney character parts. Later she joined a concert party as a comedienne; Claude Hulbert was also a member of that party and they married. In June 1928 they appeared together on BBC radio and leapt into popularity in a domestic quarrelling sketch Some More Nonsense written by Claude Hulbert.

Primrose was George Gershwin's first complete musical (with words by Desmond Carter), and played only in London. It opened on 11 September 1924 at the Winter Garden theatre in London, where it played for 255 performances.
Here are two sides recorded at the time by original cast members, Margery Hicklin and Claude Hulbert, with the Winter Garden Theatre orchestra conducted by John Ansell.

A comic number from the musical comedy 'Oh Kay' with music by George Gershwin, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and a book by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse. It is based on the play La Presidente by Maurice Hanniquin and Pierre Veber. The plot revolves around the adventures of the Duke of Durham and his sister, Lady Kay, English bootleggers in Prohibition Era America. Kay finds herself falling in love with a man who seems unavailable.
Oh Kay! was named for Kay Swift, and the leading male character is named Jimmy after her husband, Jimmy Warburg. It opened on Broadway in 1926, starring Gertrude Lawrence and Victor Moore, and ran for 256 performances. The musical opened on the West End in 1927. This production starred Gertrude Lawrence and John Kirby, and ran for 213 performances
Oh, Kay! premiered on November 8, 1926, at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway and ran for 256 performances. In London, it played at His Majesty's Theatre, opening on September 21, 1927, and ran for 213 performances.
It was revived at the Century Theatre in 1928. It was revived Off-Broadway in 1960, and a 1990 revival played at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. In 1997 a Discovering Lost Musicals concert version played at the Barbican Centre in London, using the original script (with Louise Gold in the title role). There have been other British productions, including a 1984 production at Chichester, directed by Ian Judge and starring Jane Carr as Kay and Michael Siberry as Jimmy. Jane How, Edward Hibbert and Gareth Valentine were also featured.
Oh, Kay! was made into a silent film of the same name in 1928 but never into a sound motion picture. A new recording of the musical made in the 1990s, with Dawn Upshaw, restored songs cut from the original production and returned Someone to Watch Over Me to its intended original spot, early in Act I. This last change reportedly allows the song's opening verse to make more sense.
This number is taken from the British production where Claude Hulbert sings "Clap Yo' Hands," which in the original Broadway version was sung by Larry Potter. The B Side was from the same production but isn't Claude Hulbert, it was 'Do Do Do' by G. Lawrence & H. French.

Claude Noël
Claude Noël (born October 31, 1955 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario) is a professional scout with the New Jersey Devils and former NHL player and head coach. Noël has close to 30 years experience coaching with his most recent coaching position being head coach of the Vancouver Giants of the WHL in the 2014-2015 season.
Playing career
Noël was undrafted after playing 1974–75 with the Kitchener Rangers, but he was signed as a professional with the Buffalo Norsemen of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), starting a long minor league playing career. The next season he moved up to the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Hershey Bears. He stayed with the Bears until 1981, earning one call-up to the Washington Capitals in the 1979–80 season of seven games. After Hershey he played with several teams in the International Hockey League: Toledo Goaldiggers, Kalamazoo Wings and Milwaukee Admirals before retiring in 1988. While with the Buffalo Norsemen, his team ended up involved in what is now considered to be an infamous pre game brawl with the Johnstown Jets. The events of this brawl and subsequent forfeited game would form the basis of a memorable scene between the Charleston Chiefs and the Peterboro Patriots in the cult film Slap Shot. Claude Noel confirmed that he was on the ice for that event during a press conference on November 16, 2011.

The plot revolves around the adventures of the Duke of Durham and his sister, Lady Kay, English bootleggers in Prohibition Era America. Kay finds herself falling in love with a man who seems unavailable. Oh Kay! was named for Kay Swift, and the leading male character is named Jimmy after her husband, Jimmy Warburg. It opened on Broadway in 1926, starring Gertrude Lawrence and Victor Moore, and ran for 256 performances. The musical opened on the West End in 1927. This production starred Gertrude Lawrence and John Kirby, and ran for 213 performances Oh, Kay! premiered on November 8, 1926, at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway and ran for 256 performances. In London, it played at His Majesty's Theatre, opening on September 21, 1927, and ran for 213 performances. It was revived at the Century Theatre in 1928. It was revived Off-Broadway in 1960, and a 1990 revival played at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. In 1997 a Discovering Lost Musicals concert version played at the Barbican Centre in London, using the original script (with Louise Gold in the title role). There have been other British productions, including a 1984 production at Chichester, directed by Ian Judge and starring Jane Carr as Kay and Michael Siberry as Jimmy. Jane How, Edward Hibbert and Gareth Valentine were also featured. Oh, Kay! was made into a silent film of the same name in 1928 but never into a sound motion picture. A new recording of the musical made in the 1990s, with Dawn Upshaw, restored songs cut from the original production and returned Someone to Watch Over Me to its intended original spot, early in Act I. This last change reportedly allows the song's opening verse to make more sense. This number is taken from the British production where Claude Hulbert sings "Clap Yo' Hands," which in the original Broadway version was sung by Larry Potter. The B Side was from the same production but isn't Claude Hulbert, it was 'Do Do Do' by G. Lawrence & H. French. Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate. His subsequent career was less successful than his brother's. He began by supporting the Aldwych farceurs before being handed his first lead in a weak B-film with Renee Houston and Binnie Barnes, Their Night Out (1933). His most successful solo film of the mid-1930s being Hello Sweetheart (1935), like most of Hulbert's starring comedies, however, its ambition was strictly small-scale; it seemed that British studios simply didn't see him as a major star. His flagging career was helped with Wolf's Clothing (1936), which starred him as a dithering diplomat, and Honeymoon-Merry-Go-Round (1940), where he played a bumbling bridegroom who unintentionally becomes an ice-hockey star. He became a very capable partner for Will Hay after that comedian decided he wanted to do without his famous "stooges", Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. Hay's two films with Hulbert, The Ghost of St Michael's (1941) and My Learned Friend (1943), were the most successful of his later vehicles. Claude's film appearances, though, became scarcer as the 1940s wore on. His films, however, were, at best, modest and moderate, sadly lacking in budget, ambition and spark. Hulbert died in a hospital in Sydney, Australia, whilst ashore from a world cruise with his family. -

"Those Four Chaps" was a combination of comic film actor Claude Hulbert, novelty singer Bobbie Comber, actor Paul England and Max Kester. They performed regularly on BBC radio in the early 30s and released at least four records together, at least two for Broadcast, at least one for Decca and at least one for HMV. This is the second of those, 'Those Four Chaps Go Shopping' which was for some reason issued twice in quick succession as Broadcast 664 then again as Broadcast 684 only twenty records later that same year, 1930. The earlier record, also for Broadcast, was 'The Derby of 1930' (Broadcast 616). They would go to put on record 'Those Four Chaps Taking the Air' (Decca F2597, 1931), and 'Those Four Chaps Taking Possesion' (HMV B8003, 1933). Bobbie Comber (8th January 1890 - 15th April...

Unfortunately the sound isn't good on thisHulbert record either as the record is in poor condition. I've cleaned it up as much as possible. Enid Trevor was the real-life wife of Claude Hulbert, Trevor being her maiden name. Born at Richmond, Surrey, in 1900, she is the daughter of the late Colonel Philip Trevor, CBE, and great-grand-niece of David Garrick.. Her stage début was under the management of Dennis Eadie at the Haymarket and Royalty Theatres, when she played cockney character parts. Later she joined a concert party as a comedienne; Claude Hulbert was also a member of that party and they married. In June 1928 they appeared together on BBC radio and leapt into popularity in a domestic quarrelling sketch Some More Nonsense written by Claude Hulbert. Claude Noel Hulbert (25 Dece...

The Hulbert brothers performing on a record together.
John Norman "Jack" Hulbert (24 April 1892 -- 25 March 1978) was a British actor, specialising primarily in comedy productions.
Born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, he was the elder and more successful brother of Claude. He was educated at Cambridge and appeared in many shows and revues, mainly with the Cambridge Footlights. He was one of the earliest famous alumni of the comedy club. After Cambridge, he earned recognition and fame performing in musicals and light comedies.
He made his film debut in Elstree Calling (1930); appearing opposite his wife and frequent stage and screen co-star Cicely Courtneidge whom he had married in 1916. His career went through a successful period during the 1930s when he appeared in several films, including The Ghost Train (1931), Love on Wheels (1932) and Bulldog Jack (1935), a tongue-in-cheek homage to the popular Bulldog Drummond films in which Jack was supported by his brother Claude.
Hulbert's popularity waned as the 1930s came to an end, and after the war he and his wife continued to entertain chiefly on stage. In 1975, Hulbert's autobiography, The Little Woman's Always Right, was published. In 1962 he appeared in the BBC radio sitcom Discord in Three Flats, along with Courtneidge and Vic Oliver.
His marriage to Cicely Courtneidge lasted for 62 years until his death. Their relationship is mentioned in the British television series Dad's Army in the episode Ring Dem Bells when Hulbert pulls out of shooting a Home Guard training film to spend time with his wife.
Hulbert died, aged 85, at his home in Westminster, London on 25 March 1978.
Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.
His subsequent career was less successful than his brother's. He began by supporting the Aldwych farceurs before being handed his first lead in a weak B-film with Renee Houston and Binnie Barnes, Their Night Out (1933). His most successful solo film of the mid-1930s being Hello Sweetheart (1935), like most of Hulbert's starring comedies, however, its ambition was strictly small-scale; it seemed that British studios simply didn't see him as a major star. His flagging career was helped with Wolf's Clothing (1936), which starred him as a dithering diplomat, and Honeymoon-Merry-Go-Round (1940), where he played a bumbling bridegroom who unintentionally becomes an ice-hockey star.

Claude's film appearances, though, became scarcer as the 1940s wore on. His films, however, were, at best, modest and moderate, sadly lacking in budget, ambition and spark.
Hulbert died in a hospital in Sydney, Australia, whilst ashore from a world cruise with his family.

Paul England (17th June 1893 - 21st November 1968) appeared on BBC radio and also made a few minor film appearances such as Charlie Chan In London (1934) and a small uncredited part as a detective in The Invisible Man Returns (1940).
Max Kester (11th December 1901 - 14th December 1991) was mostly a film and later television writer. He wrote many radio revue shows for the BBC throughout the 30s. He create and wrote the BBC radio series 'Mr Muddlecombe J.P.' for Robb Wilton from 1937. He also wrote the screenplay for George Formby's last film 'George in Civvy Street' (1946) and went on to write the scripts for the BBC television series Robin Hood in 1953 starring Patrick Troughton (now sadly lost apart from a few photographs).

Claude's film appearances, though, became scarcer as the 1940s wore on. His films, however, were, at best, modest and moderate, sadly lacking in budget, ambition and spark.

Unfortunately the sound isn't good on thisHulbert record either as the record is in poor condition. I've cleaned it up as much as possible.
Enid Trevor was the real-life wife of Claude Hulbert, Trevor being her maiden name. Born at Richmond, Surrey, in 1900, she is the daughter of the late Colonel Philip Trevor, CBE, and great-grand-niece of David Garrick.. Her stage début was under the management of Dennis Eadie at the Haymarket and Royalty Theatres, when she played cockney character parts. Later she joined a concert party as a comedienne; Claude Hulbert was also a member of that party and they married. In June 1928 they appeared together on BBC radio and leapt into popularity in a domestic quarrelling sketch Some More Nonsense written by Claude Hulbert.
Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.
His subsequent career was less successful than his brother's. He began by supporting the Aldwych farceurs before being handed his first lead in a weak B-film with Renee Houston and Binnie Barnes, Their Night Out (1933). His most successful solo film of the mid-1930s being Hello Sweetheart (1935), like most of Hulbert's starring comedies, however, its ambition was strictly small-scale; it seemed that British studios simply didn't see him as a major star. His flagging career was helped with Wolf's Clothing (1936), which starred him as a dithering diplomat, and Honeymoon-Merry-Go-Round (1940), where he played a bumbling bridegroom who unintentionally becomes an ice-hockey star.
He became a very capable partner for Will Hay after that comedian decided he wanted to do without his famous "stooges", Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. Hay's two films with Hulbert, The Ghost of St Michael's (1941) and My Learned Friend (1943), were the most successful of his later vehicles.

A comic number from the musical comedy 'Oh Kay' with music by George Gershwin, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and a book by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse. It is based on the play La Presidente by Maurice Hanniquin and Pierre Veber. The plot revolves around the adventures of the Duke of Durham and his sister, Lady Kay, English bootleggers in Prohibition Era America. Kay finds herself falling in love with a man who seems unavailable.
Oh Kay! was named for Kay Swift, and the leading male character is named Jimmy after her husband, Jimmy Warburg. It opened on Broadway in 1926, starring Gertrude Lawrence and Victor Moore, and ran for 256 performances. The musical opened on the West End in 1927. This production starred Gertrude Lawrence and John Kirby, and ran for 213 performances
Oh, Kay! premiered on November 8, 1926, at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway and ran for 256 performances. In London, it played at His Majesty's Theatre, opening on September 21, 1927, and ran for 213 performances.
It was revived at the Century Theatre in 1928. It was revived Off-Broadway in 1960, and a 1990 revival played at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. In 1997 a Discovering Lost Musicals concert version played at the Barbican Centre in London, using the original script (with Louise Gold in the title role). There have been other British productions, including a 1984 production at Chichester, directed by Ian Judge and starring Jane Carr as Kay and Michael Siberry as Jimmy. Jane How, Edward Hibbert and Gareth Valentine were also featured.
Oh, Kay! was made into a silent film of the same name in 1928 but never into a sound motion picture. A new recording of the musical made in the 1990s, with Dawn Upshaw, restored songs cut from the original production and returned Someone to Watch Over Me to its intended original spot, early in Act I. This last change reportedly allows the song's opening verse to make more sense.
This number is taken from the British production where Claude Hulbert sings "Clap Yo' Hands," which in the original Broadway version was sung by Larry Potter. The B Side was from the same production but isn't Claude Hulbert, it was 'Do Do Do' by G. Lawrence & H. French.

Twinkles From "Follow A Star" (1930)
The new musical comedy from the Winter Garden Theatre in London is featured: "Follow a Star." Frederick Carpenter does an acrobatic dance called "Rome". He leaps over a bevy of chorus girls dressed as Roman girls and does gymnastic leaps and turns. Sophie Tucker and the Roman Guards (Jack Hulbert, Claude Hulbert and A.W. Baskcomb) get together. They do a little comedy routine involving bashing into each other when they march. Sophie sings a song (note - no sound) and the soldiers try and lift her up. Jack and Claude Hulbert "trip the light fantastic" dressed as policemen. They dance together as if with a woman - cheek to cheek. It is a bit of an Apache dance with one throwing the other around a bit. Quite funny. One of them poses with a rose in their mouth. Was a...

Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.
His subsequent career was less successful than his brother's. He began by supporting the Aldwych farceurs before being handed his first lead in a weak B-film with Renee Houston and Binnie Barnes, Their Night Out (1933). His most successful solo film of the mid-1930s being Hello Sweetheart (1935), like most of Hulbert's starring comedies, however, its ambition was strictly small-scale; it seemed that British studios simply didn't see him as a major star. His flagging career was helped with Wolf's Clothing (1936), which starred him as a dithering diplomat, and Honeymoon-Merry-Go-Round (1940), where he played a bumbling bridegroom who unintentionally becomes an ice-hockey star.
He became a very capable partner for Will Hay after that comedian decided he wanted to do without his famous "stooges", Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. Hay's two films with Hulbert, The Ghost of St Michael's (1941) and My Learned Friend (1943), were the most successful of his later vehicles. Claude's film appearances, though, became scarcer as the 1940s wore on. His films, however, were, at best, modest and moderate, sadly lacking in budget, ambition and spark.
Hulbert died in a hospital in Sydney, Australia, whilst ashore from a world cruise with his family.

Columbia released a 7-record set of records from the musical 'Primrose' (Columbia 9001 - 9007) which played at the Winter Garden Theatre, Dury Lane, London from September to December 1924. The musical starred Leslie Henson, Claude Hulbert, Heather Thatcher, Vera Lennox, Margary Hicklin and Percy Heming. The musical was by George & Ira Gershwin, Guy Bolton and George Grosssmith.

Laughter and Life - Presented by Sidney James. CHECK COPYRIGHT FOR FEATURE FILM MATERIAL.
Reel 1 M/S of Sid James as he sits at a table and writes in a book. He speaks to camera: "Hang on, I'm just rewriting a diabolical gag." He does his trademark laugh. He smiles and quotes: "Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone." He then begins to speculate on the power of laughter. He introduces a sequence of film clips by pointing out that there is a lot of violence and cruelty in much that is funny.
Extract from a British silent comedy film. Nightclub setting, two women start a cat fight and their partners chase each other over and under dining tables. One of the men climbs up onto a balcony. Other men in the nightclub join in the proceedings. A stunt woman dangles from the balcony when part of it is pulled down. One woman pulls the other's skirt off. Slapstick antics. Sid informs us that one of the stars was Syd Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's half-brother. This is possibly an extract from "A Little Bit of Fluff" (1928).
Extract from a Charlie Drake film, "Sands of the Desert" (1960) follows. Charlie is in a Middle Eastern bazaar setting. Much crashing through windows, knocking over market stalls, throwing melons, fighting locals, woman trying to paint the scene around her, melons falling on Charlie's head etc.
Sid discusses the ingredients essential for "slapstick" humour then we see an example from the film "My Learned Friend". Will Hay and Claude Hulbert engage in a bar room brawl with humorous falls, punches, throws, loud sound effects, breaking bottles etc. More slapstick is featured in an extract from the George Formby film "Trouble Brewing" (1939). We see George in a brewery setting swinging on ropes, making his pursuers fall into vats of beer etc.
Another extract from a George Formby film - "Come on George" (1939). George is running along the top of a train as it travels at speed. The train approaches a tunnel, George says "ooh, somebody save me!" and jumps through a doorway just in time.
Monty Banks has to deal with a jealous husband in "Adam's Apple" (1928). They have a comedy fight in a gymnasium. Weights, boxing bag, gymnasium horse, etc are used as props and weapons.
Stanley Lupino and Bruce Seton are seen having a fight in "Lucky to Me" (1939). Stanley is thrown around a living room whilst the girlfriend tries to stop the fight with pathetic pleading.
The ingredients of the "cliff-hanger" are described - suspense plus danger. George Formby is seen on the ledge of a tall building. He slips and knocks a piece of plaster work on a man below. He hangs on to a piece of pipe which then comes loose from the wall. "Somebody save me!"
Monty Banks swings on a rope high above a busy road in an attempt to rescue "some bird or other" He grabs the girl and she swings backwards and forwards with him. A drunken man in top hat saves them by grabbing the girl's leg with his walking stick. He leaves Monty hanging on the rope outside the window.
Reel 2 Disguises are an important part of a comic's business Sid tells us. Will Hay and John Mills are seen in a scene from "Black Sheep of Whitehall" (1942) where Will Hay is dressed as a nurse. We then see Hay as the schoolmaster in "Ghost of St Michael's" (1941). Charles Hawtrey plays a know-it-all schoolboy. Continued.
Stanley Lupino and Gus McNaughton are seen in "Happy" (1933) showing techniques of "quick fire back chat" in a scene about an invention for a new car alarm.
Robertson Hare and Alfred Drayton appear in a comedy scene. Two toffs chase after a butler, they pull off his trousers. A man is tied up inside a grandfather clock. Detectives come to the door.
"Bunny" as Robertson Hare is known, sits and talks to Sid James in the studio. He reminisces about all the films he made with Alfred Drayton. Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn are mentioned. Bunny talks about how well the Aldwych Farces were written and produced. Sid asks Bunny "How many times did they have the pants off you?" Bunny gives us his catch phrase "Oh calamity!" They have a laugh together.
Sid talks about "Dead of Night" (1945) in which Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford play friendly rivals at golf and in love. The girl sits between them as they moan about how she puts them off their game. They decide to play a game for the affections of the woman. Some cheating goes on. The loser walks off the golf course and straight into the lake, going under until only his hat floats on the top.

The new musical comedy from the Winter Garden Theatre in London is featured: "Follow a Star."
Frederick Carpenter does an acrobatic dance called "Rome". He leaps over a bevy of chorus girls dressed as Roman girls and does gymnastic leaps and turns. Sophie Tucker and the Roman Guards (Jack Hulbert, Claude Hulbert and A.W. Baskcomb) get together. They do a little comedy routine involving bashing into each other when they march.
Sophie sings a song (note - no sound) and the soldiers try and lift her up. Jack and Claude Hulbert "trip the light fantastic" dressed as policemen. They dance together as if with a woman - cheek to cheek. It is a bit of an Apache dance with one throwing the other around a bit. Quite funny. One of them poses with a rose in their mouth.

Reel 3. Compilation of various turns.
i) Two middle aged female comediennes do a routine - it is Gert and Daisy. They are gossiping about someone's new wife as they look at a market stall of vegetables. "Is she that fat girl I've seen him with?" says one. "Fat? Well she had mumps for three weeks before anybody noticed it." replies the other. They buy their vegetables and walk off. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton are hiding in a box of vegetables, they stand up - they've got bunches of bananas on their heads and cabbages in their ears. They are taking notes on what the women are saying. They stand by a fabric stall and continue their banter. Daisy asks if they can get a drink somewhere. Gert replies that she might be able to get them some water and Daisy replies: "Water? I said thirsty not dirty!"
ii) 01:32:01 Radio announcer introduces Flotsam and Jetsam - famous for being big supporters of Empire. C/U of record playing, then of the front of a radio. One of them sits at a piano and sings a song about the radio and how wonderful it is. Big Ben is mentioned, calling to "us poor devils miles away." At the end of his song he says: "London Stations are now closing down, goodnight everybody, goodnight". Cut to the other half of the act who is sitting outside a primitive wooden house. He turns his radio off and begins to sing a song about Big Ben. We hear it striking in the background. The words: "Goodnight old London Town" are accompanied by shots of the famous clock and the Embankment at night. He is presumably living away from London and reminiscing thanks to the radio. The first man sits playing the piano - he is wearing some sort of veterans uniform with medals attached. He is playing a melancholy song. The other man walks in and says: "Hey, wake up, they are turning out the guard." The pianist then begins playing a march. The second man sings a song about the Changing of the Guards. Various shots of the ceremony are spliced into the middle of the song. Flotsam and Jetsam are obviously very patriotic and love London and Big Ben!
iii) 01:38:21 Two comedians - the one on the left is Stainless Stephen - dressed as railway guards chat about how the Arsenal football team is going to be on one of their trains and Sheffield Wednesday on the other. Stainless Stephen is left on his own and gives a soliloquy. Jokes abound about stingy passengers who never give tips. As he does his routine he is passed various packages to stack in the train. Other jokes include untouchables in India, bosses, hunts, tattoos, Kings Cross station etc. Routine ends when a box thrown by another member of staff hits him in the face. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from some milk cans with the tops of the cans balanced on their heads! Wardour Films Limited.
Note: a very funny turn from Stainless Stephen! - SL.

Reel 4.
i) 01:41:12 Radio announcer introduces Mario Lorenzo who plays the harp. Camera pans to the record turntable. Mario wears a gypsy style outfit with a headscarf. Various shots of him playing.
ii) 01:44:14 Set representing a railway station tea room. The man behind the counter is singing a song. Two customers - comedians Clapham and Dwyer - come in, one of whom, Clapham, is a very upper class drunkard. He wears a top hat and a large monocle. He rambles about what he'd like to eat. His colleague has to explain that he wants fish and chips. Man behind the counter says: "We don't sell fish" to which the reply is: "I don't want shellfish." They settle for rissoles and cups of tea. They discuss how they are going to pay for the food. All they have is a spoon and a ladle. The rissole is so rock hard that it breaks the plate when it is dropped down. The super posh toff continues to talk nonsense to his friend and he doesn't see that another man has come up to the counter and is eating his rissole as he keeps waving it around in the air as he speaks. He tells a conundrum. The man who has eaten most of his rissole suddenly stares at the man behind the counter which provokes the other two to stare too. The thief then takes a big slurp of the toff's cup of tea. He starts to tell a saucy riddle but then sees "Frankenstein" - a scowling man, standing at the counter. He tries to tell a joke but gets very confused. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from a rubbish bin. One of them is covered in muck.
iii) 01:48:01 Radio announcer introduces the Carlisle Cousins along with Harry Pepper and Doris Arnold. They perform a medley which includes "Shine on Harvest Moon" and "The Old Man of the Mountains.". One of the girls plays the piano, two other stand beside her, they wear pierrot style costumes with large ruffs. Harry Pepper and Doris Arnold play a piano duet. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton emerge from a doorway with a sign which reads: "Copying Office." They are discussing their need for some motor car jokes, they decide to go and listen to Reginald Gardner (or Gardener).
iv) 01:50:35 Reginald Gardner is dressed as a motor mechanic and talks to his boss about the noises different cars make. His boss ignores him. Reg decides to fill his petrol lighter from the petrol pump, petrol pours all over his small lighter. He makes the noises that taxis make. Suddenly a woman (comedienne Jeanne de Casalis, aka Mrs Feather - SL) driver smashes into one of the petrol pumps there is an explosion. The boss looks angry and says: "Mrs Feather, that's a nice way to come into a petrol station." It is a new car, she had to tickle its various parts to get it going. She wears very large furry gloves and driving goggles. The mechanics rip various parts off the car. She is the archetypical dizzy woman driver and they are the archetypal rip-off mechanics. She powders her nose using one of the wing mirrors they have ripped off the car.

i) Radio announcer stands by a turntable and speaks into a microphone as he puts the needle on a record. Miss Elsie Carlisle and her band perform a song. Elsie stands on a balcony in a black dress with white fur trim. She walks down the stairs as she sings then stands by the piano. The boys in the band wear suits and look very dapper. They ask Elsie to tell them all about being in love. She sings two songs about it. She then sings a song about an ex-boyfriend who has gone off with the girl next door. She takes off her little cape. She pretends to be sad about it and goes to look at his photograph which is standing on the table. She sings a song which may be called: "You've got me crying again." She puts a black chiffon scarf over his photograph and walks back up the ornate staircase as the band play a jazzy version of "It's great to be in love" which Elsie had sung earlier.

Titles read: 'Now Pathe Pictorial has pleasure in presenting - A Broadcaster and Producer known to millions - Philip RIDGEWAY (assisted by 'Irene') with Jean Melville at the piano.'
Pathe Studio, London.
Philip Ridgeway, dressed in white tie and tails and with a caddish pencil-thin moustache, stands at a microphone in front of a grand piano and says this is his first appearance on the screen. He introduces 'Irene' as "that delightful girl I found in the north of England" who made a big hit with the listeners after he took her to Broadcasting House. Irene looks very sweet and pretty and is wearing a very frilly long dress.
Philip and Irene sing a rather soppy little song called 'I've Been Talking In My Sleep' while Jean Melville plays the piano. Then Philip looks out at the audience and pretends to see Jack Hulbert there with 'Claude' - he does an impression of 'Claude'. Then he impersonates Maurice Chevalier (not that good).
Irene sings a song called 'Goodnight' (we spot Jean talking to someone off camera just before the song starts) - Philip watches her rather amorously as she sings, then speaks some of the words into the microphone. He puts his arm around Irene. Visuals cut out at 01:09:35, sound continues to end.
Note: the impression given by this film is that Philip and Irene were an item at the time.

Reel 6. United States of America - shots of skyscrapers at night. Interior of a nightclub. Couples dancing to jazz music. The music stops and people sit at tables. The MC of the club announces that they are having an all English evening. Miss Florence Desmond is introduced - she is an impersonator. Her act is to give the audience an idea of a party given in Hollywood by Janet Gaynor. She announces that some of the people attending will be: Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead and Gracie Fields. Moving camera spins around the club. She does her impersonations including the aforementioned plus Basil Pitt and Jimmy Durante. She then sings a song in the style of Gracie Fields - all about American food and how she prefers Hot Pot and Tripe. Funny.
ii) 01:18:38 Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton are next up. It is their first appearance in Chicago. They keep walking on and being scared by gangster types. They run off scared and then have to come on again. They sing:" Jolly Good Company" but gangsters keep shooting at them. C/Us of the gangsters. It is Al Sharpshot's birthday party. The manager of the club explains that they are all drunk and will shoot anything. "If they like you they laugh, if they don't they shoot." They begin singing again - very nervous so shaky voices. C/U of gangster type who throws off a table cloth to reveal a machine gun. The two continue to tell poor jokes in an attempt to amuse. They consult their notebooks. They sing "Chuckle, Giggle and Laugh." and get shot at. Gangster's moll also appears.
iii) 01:22:39 Back in the Art Deco set a small jazz orchestra performs a number (I think it is Roy Fox and band playing the Harold Arlen song 'Sweet and Hot' - SL). Three of the band come forward and sing in a close harmony style. C/U of the orchestra members feet tapping leads into a montage sequence featuring all the acts we have previously seen (and a couple from a missing reel). Very modern looking jump cut sequence of the exterior of BBC Broadcasting House. Different shots of the building's facade are edited together as the "pips" are played. Our radio announcer puts away his record player.
End title reads: "British International Picture - Elstree London."
Note: reel one of the original film is currently missing.
Note; apparently this is indeed Roy Fox and the trio, including Ivor Mairants, Les Lambert and Harry Gold, are The Cubs. The Radio Announcer at the end of the clip is Christopher Stone.

Claude Hulbert & others - Those Four Chaps Go Shopping (1930)
"Those Four Chaps" was a combination of comic film actor Claude Hulbert, novelty singer Bobbie Comber, actor Paul England and Max Kester. They performed regularly on BBC radio in the early 30s and released at least four records together, at least two for Broadcast, at least one for Decca and at least one for HMV. This is the second of those, 'Those Four Chaps Go Shopping' which was for some reason issued twice in quick succession as Broadcast 664 then again as Broadcast 684 only twenty records later that same year, 1930. The earlier record, also for Broadcast, was 'The Derby of 1930' (Broadcast 616). They would go to put on record 'Those Four Chaps Taking the Air' (Decca F2597, 1931), and 'Those Four Chaps Taking Possesion' (HMV B8003, 1933). Bobbie Comber (8th January 1890 - 15th April...

Unfortunately the sound isn't good on thisHulbert record either as the record is in poor condition. I've cleaned it up as much as possible. Enid Trevor was the real-life wife of Claude Hulbert, Trevor being her maiden name. Born at Richmond, Surrey, in 1900, she is the daughter of the late Colonel Philip Trevor, CBE, and great-grand-niece of David Garrick.. Her stage début was under the management of Dennis Eadie at the Haymarket and Royalty Theatres, when she played cockney character parts. Later she joined a concert party as a comedienne; Claude Hulbert was also a member of that party and they married. In June 1928 they appeared together on BBC radio and leapt into popularity in a domestic quarrelling sketch Some More Nonsense written by Claude Hulbert. Claude Noel Hulbert (25 Dece...

The Hulbert brothers performing on a record together.
John Norman "Jack" Hulbert (24 April 1892 -- 25 March 1978) was a British actor, specialising primarily in comedy productions.
Born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, he was the elder and more successful brother of Claude. He was educated at Cambridge and appeared in many shows and revues, mainly with the Cambridge Footlights. He was one of the earliest famous alumni of the comedy club. After Cambridge, he earned recognition and fame performing in musicals and light comedies.
He made his film debut in Elstree Calling (1930); appearing opposite his wife and frequent stage and screen co-star Cicely Courtneidge whom he had married in 1916. His career went through a successful period during the 1930s when he appeared in several films, including The Ghost Train (1931), Love on Wheels (1932) and Bulldog Jack (1935), a tongue-in-cheek homage to the popular Bulldog Drummond films in which Jack was supported by his brother Claude.
Hulbert's popularity waned as the 1930s came to an end, and after the war he and his wife continued to entertain chiefly on stage. In 1975, Hulbert's autobiography, The Little Woman's Always Right, was published. In 1962 he appeared in the BBC radio sitcom Discord in Three Flats, along with Courtneidge and Vic Oliver.
His marriage to Cicely Courtneidge lasted for 62 years until his death. Their relationship is mentioned in the British television series Dad's Army in the episode Ring Dem Bells when Hulbert pulls out of shooting a Home Guard training film to spend time with his wife.
Hulbert died, aged 85, at his home in Westminster, London on 25 March 1978.
Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.
His subsequent career was less successful than his brother's. He began by supporting the Aldwych farceurs before being handed his first lead in a weak B-film with Renee Houston and Binnie Barnes, Their Night Out (1933). His most successful solo film of the mid-1930s being Hello Sweetheart (1935), like most of Hulbert's starring comedies, however, its ambition was strictly small-scale; it seemed that British studios simply didn't see him as a major star. His flagging career was helped with Wolf's Clothing (1936), which starred him as a dithering diplomat, and Honeymoon-Merry-Go-Round (1940), where he played a bumbling bridegroom who unintentionally becomes an ice-hockey star.
He became a very capable partner for Will Hay after that comedian decided he wanted to do without his famous "stooges", Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. Hay's two films with Hulbert, The Ghost of St Michael's (1941) and My Learned Friend (1943), were the most successful of his later vehicles. Claude's film appearances, though, became scarcer as the 1940s wore on. His films, however, were, at best, modest and moderate, sadly lacking in budget, ambition and spark.
Hulbert died in a hospital in Sydney, Australia, whilst ashore from a world cruise with his family.

Bobbie Comber (8th January 1890 - 15th April 1942) was best known for his novelty records with a sea shanty theme, such as 'Barnicle Bill the Sailor'.
Paul England (17th June 1893 - 21st November 1968) appeared on BBC radio and also made a few minor film appearances such as Charlie Chan In London (1934) and a small uncredited part as a detective in The Invisible Man Returns (1940).
Max Kester (11th December 1901 - 14th December 1991) was mostly a film and later television writer. He wrote many radio revue shows for the BBC throughout the 30s. He create and wrote the BBC radio series 'Mr Muddlecombe J.P.' for Robb Wilton from 1937. He also wrote the screenplay for George Formby's last film 'George in Civvy Street' (1946) and went on to write the scripts for the BBC television series Robin Hood in 1953 starring Patrick Troughton (now sadly lost apart from a few photographs). He also wrote a number of books. He was the youngest of the group and also the longest-lived.
Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.

Claude's film appearances, though, became scarcer as the 1940s wore on. His films, however, were, at best, modest and moderate, sadly lacking in budget, ambition and spark.

https://wn.com/Claude_Hulbert_Others_Those_Four_Chaps_Go_Shopping_(1930)
"Those Four Chaps" was a combination of comic film actor Claude Hulbert, novelty singer Bobbie Comber, actor Paul England and Max Kester. They performed regularly on BBC radio in the early 30s and released at least four records together, at least two for Broadcast, at least one for Decca and at least one for HMV. This is the second of those, 'Those Four Chaps Go Shopping' which was for some reason issued twice in quick succession as Broadcast 664 then again as Broadcast 684 only twenty records later that same year, 1930. The earlier record, also for Broadcast, was 'The Derby of 1930' (Broadcast 616). They would go to put on record 'Those Four Chaps Taking the Air' (Decca F2597, 1931), and 'Those Four Chaps Taking Possesion' (HMV B8003, 1933).
Bobbie Comber (8th January 1890 - 15th April 1942) was best known for his novelty records with a sea shanty theme, such as 'Barnicle Bill the Sailor'.
Paul England (17th June 1893 - 21st November 1968) appeared on BBC radio and also made a few minor film appearances such as Charlie Chan In London (1934) and a small uncredited part as a detective in The Invisible Man Returns (1940).
Max Kester (11th December 1901 - 14th December 1991) was mostly a film and later television writer. He wrote many radio revue shows for the BBC throughout the 30s. He create and wrote the BBC radio series 'Mr Muddlecombe J.P.' for Robb Wilton from 1937. He also wrote the screenplay for George Formby's last film 'George in Civvy Street' (1946) and went on to write the scripts for the BBC television series Robin Hood in 1953 starring Patrick Troughton (now sadly lost apart from a few photographs). He also wrote a number of books. He was the youngest of the group and also the longest-lived.
Claude Noel Hulbert (25 December 1900 -- 23 January 1964) was a British comic actor. He was the younger brother of Jack Hulbert. Like his brother, he was Cambridge educated and was a member of the Footlights comedy club as an undergraduate.
His subsequent career was less successful than his brother's. He began by supporting the Aldwych farceurs before being handed his first lead in a weak B-film with Renee Houston and Binnie Barnes, Their Night Out (1933). His most successful solo film of the mid-1930s being Hello Sweetheart (1935), like most of Hulbert's starring comedies, however, its ambition was strictly small-scale; it seemed that British studios simply didn't see him as a major star. His flagging career was helped with Wolf's Clothing (1936), which starred him as a dithering diplomat, and Honeymoon-Merry-Go-Round (1940), where he played a bumbling bridegroom who unintentionally becomes an ice-hockey star.
He became a very capable partner for Will Hay after that comedian decided he wanted to do without his famous "stooges", Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. Hay's two films with Hulbert, The Ghost of St Michael's (1941) and My Learned Friend (1943), were the most successful of his later vehicles.

Enid Trevor was the real-life wife of Claude Hulbert, Trevor being her maiden name. Born at Richmond, Surrey, in 1900, she is the daughter of the late Colonel Philip Trevor, CBE, and great-grand-niece of David Garrick.. Her stage début was under the management of Dennis Eadie at the Haymarket and Royalty Theatres, when she played cockney character parts. Later she joined a concert party as a comedienne; Claude Hulbert was also a member of that party and they married. In June 1928 they appeared together on BBC radio and leapt into popularity in a domestic quarrelling sketch Some More Nonsense written by Claude Hulbert.

A comic number from the musical comedy 'Oh Kay' with music by George Gershwin, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and a book by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse. It is based on the play La Presidente by Maurice Hanniquin and Pierre Veber. The plot revolves around the adventures of the Duke of Durham and his sister, Lady Kay, English bootleggers in Prohibition Era America. Kay finds herself falling in love with a man who seems unavailable.
Oh Kay! was named for Kay Swift, and the leading male character is named Jimmy after her husband, Jimmy Warburg. It opened on Broadway in 1926, starring Gertrude Lawrence and Victor Moore, and ran for 256 performances. The musical opened on the West End in 1927. This production starred Gertrude Lawrence and John Kirby, and ran for 213 performances
Oh, Kay! premiered on November 8, 1926, at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway and ran for 256 performances. In London, it played at His Majesty's Theatre, opening on September 21, 1927, and ran for 213 performances.
It was revived at the Century Theatre in 1928. It was revived Off-Broadway in 1960, and a 1990 revival played at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. In 1997 a Discovering Lost Musicals concert version played at the Barbican Centre in London, using the original script (with Louise Gold in the title role). There have been other British productions, including a 1984 production at Chichester, directed by Ian Judge and starring Jane Carr as Kay and Michael Siberry as Jimmy. Jane How, Edward Hibbert and Gareth Valentine were also featured.
Oh, Kay! was made into a silent film of the same name in 1928 but never into a sound motion picture. A new recording of the musical made in the 1990s, with Dawn Upshaw, restored songs cut from the original production and returned Someone to Watch Over Me to its intended original spot, early in Act I. This last change reportedly allows the song's opening verse to make more sense.
This number is taken from the British production where Claude Hulbert sings "Clap Yo' Hands," which in the original Broadway version was sung by Larry Potter. The B Side was from the same production but isn't Claude Hulbert, it was 'Do Do Do' by G. Lawrence & H. French.

"Bulldog Drummond" was a popular fictional detective, played on screen by 13 different actors including Ronald Colman, and in this film (aka. "Alias Bulldog Drummond") an aspiring young man (Jack Hulbert) agrees to impersonate Drummond (who's been injured in a car crash) and help a young girl whose father has been kidnapped by jewel thieves. The film itself was a slight change of direction for Jack Hulbert, with no opportunity to sing or dance, but the casting of Jack's brother Claude Hulbert (himself a prolific screen actor) allows an opportunity to see the two brothers in their only film together. Imported American star Fay Wray is the girl in distress, and Ralph Richardson is also cast in an early role as the wonderfully eccentric protagonist. The climax of the film takes place on the London Underground, and is cleverly handled with good use of models and the construction of a 'mock' undergound station at Islington Studios. "Bulldog Jack" did good business at the time, based on the popularity of the Hulbert Brothers, but modern viewers might find the film hard to take. The film was shown a couple of times on C4, this copy taken from what I believe was its last showing in 1990. There's been no official dvd release, but it was released on VHS in 1997. If the copyright holder objects, or if a dvd release is announced, I will remove the film from You Tube.

Imported American star Fay Wray is the girl in distress, and Ralph Richardson is also cast in an early role as the wonderfully eccentric protagonist. The climax of the film takes place on the London Underground, and is cleverly handled with good use of models and the construction of a 'mock' undergound station at Islington Studios. "Bulldog Jack" did good business at the time, based on the popularity of the Hulbert Brothers, but modern viewers might find the film hard to take. The film was shown a couple of times on C4, this copy taken from what I believe was its last showing in 1990. There's been no official dvd release, but it was released on VHS in 1997. If the copyright holder objects, or if a dvd release is announced, I will remove the film from You Tube.

Sorry I've had to write this, but I discovered recently that the ENTIRE CONTENTS of this channel has been cloned and can now be found on another channel, along with the content from another classic film channel "MrsTJ". I have reported the matter to You Tube and will let you know if they respond. Some of the offending videos have been removed (April 27th) but others remain to be sorted out.
"The Dummy Talks" marked the screen debut of actor Jack Warner who went on to appear in some of the most well known classic British films, including 'The Blue Lamp', 'The Captive Heart' and 'Hue & Cry', all of which re available on dvd from Studio Canal. This film though is a much more routine affair, with the investigation of a murder carried out in a variety theatre. The film is padded out with a number of 'turns' by variety acts of the day which may prove of interest, but more likely irritation as they slow the pace of the film down. "The Dummy talks" was shown once on C4 in 1989 but since then has been unseen, with no further tv screening or home entertainment release. Along with the rest of the output from the British National company that produced approximately 80 films between 1935 and 1948, it is now in a copyright limbo with nobody seemingly holding the rights to these films. If the copyright holder should object, or if a dvd release is announced, I will remove the film immediately. The film does feature Ivy Benson & her all girl band in possibly their only screen appearance.
