| Description: | Same as catalog # 514357 Now Andre Charlot presents - A topical glance at Beatrice Lillie and Lupino Lane (filmed at the Savoy Theatre, London) London. M/S of Andre Charlot (?) coming out from behind the theatre curtain of the Savoy Theatre. He introduces Lupino Lane and Beatrice Lillie as Napoleon and Josephine in a sketch from the revue 'Please', currently showing at the theatre. Various shots of Beatrice and Lupino going through the sketch, where Napoleon asks Josephine to write to the senate, giving up her throne. The words are serious, but the pair do a lot of slapstick business as they speak - it's very funny. At the end of the scene Josephine instructs Napoleon to come to her apartment as usual; he answers "Not tonight, Josephine" and she throws a custard pie in his face! | |
