From the film "Trouble Brewing" (1939), starring George Formby, Gus McNaughton and Garry Marsh. Composed by George Formby, Harry Gifford & Fred E. Cliffe.
This scene takes place in the pub at the races after the horse that George Formby and his pal Gus McNaughton backed came in first place. Things soon take a turn for the worse as counterfeiters approach Gus at the bar and change his winnings for fake bank notes.
Lyrics:
Can't help grinning, I've been winning, had a real good do
And now I'm telling you, grey skies are turning blue
What a racket, what a packet I have won today
Trouble's over, I'm in clover, everything's okay
I feel like a millionaire, I'm all deluxe and how
I'm in the money, tasting the honey
Hitting the high spots now
All my frowns have turned to smiles, no wrinkles on my brow
I'm stepping out more, getting about more
Hitting the high spots now
Life is what you make it, so make it worth while
Whatever comes just take it
You've got to swing along and get in rhythm
I'm on top of all the world, I'm making good and how
Turning the switch on, putting the ritz on
Hitting the high spots now
I'll be living like a lord and Lord knows who or how,
I'm in the right school, going to night school
Hitting the high spots now
Horses, women, wine and song, and greyhounds too - bow-wow
When there's a cert on, putting my shirt on
Hitting the high spots now
Life is what you make it, so just make it worth while
Whatever comes just take it
You've got to swing along and get in rhythm
In the best society I soon will make my bow
Dressed up tricky, with a clean shirt on
Hitting the high spots
I'll be a big shot
Hitting the high spots now

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.

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.

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.

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.
01:29:50 The door to Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton's Copying Office opens to reveal the two inside They are talking about jokes they have stolen from Tex McLeod - a joke about two girls in an asylum who were developing a film of Jack Buchanan in a fog...

Gus McNaughton
Gus McNaughton (29 July 1881 – 18 November 1969), also known as Augustus Le Clerq and Augustus Howard, was an English film actor. He appeared in 70 films between 1930 and 1947. He was born in London and died in Castor, Cambridgeshire. He is sometimes credited as Gus MacNaughton. He appeared on stage from 1899, as a juvenile comedian with the Fred Karno company, the influential British music hall troupe. In films, McNaughton was often cast as the "fast-talking sidekick", and he appeared in several popular George Formby comedies of the 1930s and 1940s. He also appeared twice for director Alfred Hitchcock in both Murder! (1930) and The 39 Steps (1935).

George Formby
George Formby, OBE (born George Hoy Booth; 26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961), was an English actor, singer-songwriter and comedian who became known to a worldwide audience through his films of the 1930s and 1940s. On stage, screen and record he sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele, and became the UK's highest-paid entertainer.
Born in Wigan, Lancashire, he was the son of George Formby Sr, from whom he later took his stage name. After an early career as a stable boy and jockey, Formby took to the music hall stage after the early death of his father in 1921. His early performances were taken exclusively from his father's act, including the same songs, jokes and characters. In 1923 he made two career-changing decisions – he purchased a ukulele, and married Beryl Ingham, a fellow performer who became his manager and transformed his act. She insisted that he appear on stage formally dressed, and introduced the ukulele to his performance. He started his recording career in 1926 and, from 1934, he increasingly worked in film to develop into a major star by the late 1930s and 1940s, and became the UK's most popular entertainer during those decades. The media historian Brian McFarlane writes that on film, Formby portrayed gormless Lancastrian innocents who would win through against some form of villainy, gaining the affection of an attractive middle-class girl in the process.

Hulbert began his professional career on the English stage. His first theatrical credit was in the London revue Fantasia in 1921. In 1924, he was quite successful in the George Grossmith-Guy Bolton musical comedy Primrose, which led to a string of musical comedy roles for him from 1925 to the 1930s, including Sunny, Oh Kay, Song of the Sea and Follow a Star. Hulbert also was a hit on radio, thanks to his spontaneous manner of delivery, along with his nervous excitability and hilarious stuttering. In 1939, he returned to the London stage in the farce, Worth a Million. Subsequently he was seen in Cole Porter's Panama Hattie (1943) and as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz (1946), In the 1950s, he appeared in numerous farces and in repertory theatre. In 1959, he made quite a splash as Lord Plynne in Frederick Lonsdale's Let Them Eat Cake

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. Continued in reel 3 - see Film ID 2281.07.

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.

A quota quickie directed by Maclean Rogers in 1938, "Easy Riches" featured character players George Carney & Gus McNaughton as a couple of rival builders competing for the award of a big contract. Neither Carney or McNaughton could be considered stars, but their faces were very familiar throughout the 30s and 40s when they both appeared in scores of pictures, perhaps best well known today for their appearances in some of the George Formby comedies. "Easy Riches" has never been transmitted on UK tv, or received a VHS or dvd release, but it was available from a now defunct video dealer in the US some 20 years ago, from which this copy was sourced. The BFI only hold a 16mm print of this title, so it is probable that the original 35mm negatives for this film no longer exist. If a dvd release is announced, or if the current copyright holder objects, I'll remove this post immediately.

Lyrics:
Can't help grinning, I've been winning, had a real good do
And now I'm telling you, grey skies are turning blue
What a racket, what a packet I have won today
Trouble's over, I'm in clover, everything's okay
I feel like a millionaire, I'm all deluxe and how
I'm in the money, tasting the honey
Hitting the high spots now
All my frowns have turned to smiles, no wrinkles on my brow
I'm stepping out more, getting about more
Hitting the high spots now
Life is what you make it, so make it worth while
Whatever comes just take it
You've got to swing along and get in rhythm
I'm on top of all the world, I'm making good and how
Turning the switch on, putting the ritz on
Hitting the high spots now
I'll be living like a lord and Lord knows who or how,
I'm in the right school, going to night school
Hitting the high spots now
Horses, women, wine and song, and greyhounds too - bow-wow
When there's a cert on, putting my shirt on
Hitting the high spots now
Life is what you make it, so just make it worth while
Whatever comes just take it
You've got to swing along and get in rhythm
In the best society I soon will make my bow
Dressed up tricky, with a clean shirt on
Hitting the high spots
I'll be a big shot
Hitting the high spots now

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A quota quickie directed by Maclean Rogers in 1938, "Easy Riches" featured character players George Carney & Gus McNaughton as a couple of rival builders competing for the award of a big contract. Neither Carney or McNaughton could be considered stars, but their faces were very familiar throughout the 30s and 40s when they both appeared in scores of pictures, perhaps best well known today for their appearances in some of the George Formby comedies. "Easy Riches" has never been transmitted on UK tv, or received a VHS or dvd release, but it was available from a now defunct video dealer in the US some 20 years ago, from which this copy was sourced. The BFI only hold a 16mm print of this title, so it is probable that the original 35mm negatives for this film no longer exist. If a dvd release is announced, or if the current copyright holder objects, I'll remove this post immediately.

Our Miss Brooks: The Bookie / Stretch Is In Love Again / The Dancer
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name. Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School. Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so tha...

Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very "feline" in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. "I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton," she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.

How Luxembourg is ensuring its attractiveness to the alternative investment industry under AIFMD
Jacques Elvinger, partner at Elvinger, Hoss & Prussen Luxembourg, outlines how Luxembourg intends to transpose the directive into national law. The three part process consists of implementing the directive itself, adjusting existing fund structures and finally the efficiency package which includes additional provisions that go beyond the directive and are aimed at making Luxembourg more attractive to the alternative investment industry. Mr Elvinger says that as it remains to be seen whether member states will take Luxembourg's lead and opt to transpose a provision within the AIFMD that allows AIFMs to be sold to retail investors. However he hopes that countries like the Netherlands, who have historically distributed non UCITS funds, will opt for this provision. Mr Elvinger concludes by ...

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.

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."

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.

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.

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 5.
i) The boss seen in the turn above tells the woman to start the car up. She asks if her bonnet is on straight. The boss takes it off for her (the car bonnet that is!) She can't remember how to start the car. She talks about the fact that her dog may have started the car for her then asks why they don't push the car as "it's by far the quickest way of getting her about." Boss looks under the bonnet. Joke revolving around whether the car has been overhauled lately - she misunderstands and thinks he is talking about the friend she is due to meet and says: "Oh yes, she's been laid up for three weeks." The boss suggests that her big end is gone, "Good heavens, how can you tell without seeing her?" asks the woman. Reginald Gardner (or Gardiner) runs out saying: "Step on it, they're open!" and the two men run off to the pub. The woman "steps on it" the car reverses and there is another explosion under the bonnet.
ii) 01:01:20 Notice across two closed doors reads: "Stanelli & Edgar". Doors open. In a lovely art deco set Stanelli plays the piano. Edgar comes down the stairs and a bit of banter ensues. "We will now try and play these ghastly looking things for you" says Stanelli and they proceed to play violins. Stanelli splits his bow so that the strings go over the top and the wooden part underneath the body of the violin. Stanelli starts some comedy singing in the middle of the song but Edgar nudges him with an elbow and he stops. Stanelli makes a joke about his partner being a fish. He then plays his violin as if it is a ukulele. Edgar accompanies him. Quite a funny little turn! Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton attempt to play violins. Stanelli and Edgar joke about boy scouts and girl guides. Stanelli hits Edgar over the head with a flower. They then do an imitation of an "Aberdonian Saxophone" - bagpipes presumably. They play a Scottish reel.
iii) 01:04:38 Radio announcer introduces the Houston Sisters (Billie and Renee Houston). From his patter it seems that they usually play the bagpipes - or are Scottish at least. For this turn one of the sisters sings and the other plays the ukulele. Camera pans up from a C/U of their feet and legs to reveal them sitting on the sofa, one dressed as a man, the other very cute in a short skirt showing off her legs. The sister dressed as a man speaks in a very low voice. They discuss what they need to do to please the public. There may be some veiled jokes about homosexuality and lesbianism in this routine. For example when the mannish sister says that she is going to become a ventriloquist, the girlie sister says: "You're not one of those are you?" to which the other replies: "What do you mean?" The manly sister calls the other "Darling" The feminine sister accuses the other of being "full of affectation lately...fiddling with your tie" etc. The girlie sister suggests that she be the ventriloquist's dummy so she pulls up her skirts and sits on her sister's lap. She sings a song as if a ventriloquists doll. Pretty funny! The ventriloquist sister pulls the others skirt down to make her look more respectable. They do a little dance together, holding each other by the hands and around the waist. Claude Hulbert and Gus McNaughton take notes on the act, particularly on the joke about religion where ventriloquism was confused with Presbyterianism. They get the jokes a bit wrong.
iv) 01:09:30 Leonard Henry is the next act. We see him in the bath, he is singing a song and cleaning various bits of his anatomy. He speaks into the shower nozzle as if it is a telephone: "Hello, is that the police station, all right I'll come clean." He takes a jar of bath salts off the shelf and starts eating them. Then he tucks into a loofah. He sings a song about Epsom salts - joke revolving around the fact he has eaten the bath salts. More gags and funny business. He puts on a very odd dressing gown with a large bow at the top. He stands by the sink and looks into a distorting mirror. He has a shave.

Jacques Elvinger, partner at Elvinger, Hoss & Prussen Luxembourg, outlines how Luxembourg intends to transpose the directive into national law. The three part process consists of implementing the directive itself, adjusting existing fund structures and finally the efficiency package which includes additional provisions that go beyond the directive and are aimed at making Luxembourg more attractive to the alternative investment industry.
Mr Elvinger says that as it remains to be seen whether member states will take Luxembourg's lead and opt to transpose a provision within the AIFMD that allows AIFMs to be sold to retail investors. However he hopes that countries like the Netherlands, who have historically distributed non UCITS funds, will opt for this provision.
Mr Elvinger concludes by looking into how alternative investment managers are already preparing themselves for the transposition of the AIFMD into law.

From the film "Trouble Brewing" (1939), starring George Formby, Gus McNaughton and Garry Marsh. Composed by George Formby, Harry Gifford & Fred E. Cliffe.
This scene takes place in the pub at the races after the horse that George Formby and his pal Gus McNaughton backed came in first place. Things soon take a turn for the worse as counterfeiters approach Gus at the bar and change his winnings for fake bank notes.
Lyrics:
Can't help grinning, I've been winning, had a real good do
And now I'm telling you, grey skies are turning blue
What a racket, what a packet I have won today
Trouble's over, I'm in clover, everything's okay
I feel like a millionaire, I'm all deluxe and how
I'm in the money, tasting the honey
Hitting the high spots now
All my frowns have turned to smiles, no wrinkles on my brow
I'm stepping out more, getting about more
Hitting the high spots now
Life is what you make it, so make it worth while
Whatever comes just take it
You've got to swing along and get in rhythm
I'm on top of all the world, I'm making good and how
Turning the switch on, putting the ritz on
Hitting the high spots now
I'll be living like a lord and Lord knows who or how,
I'm in the right school, going to night school
Hitting the high spots now
Horses, women, wine and song, and greyhounds too - bow-wow
When there's a cert on, putting my shirt on
Hitting the high spots now
Life is what you make it, so just make it worth while
Whatever comes just take it
You've got to swing along and get in rhythm
In the best society I soon will make my bow
Dressed up tricky, with a clean shirt on
Hitting the high spots
I'll be a big shot

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very "feline" in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. "I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton," she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.
