| Description: | CAMEOS - FROM "BETTY IN MAYFAIR" Scenes from "Betty in Mayfair" starring Evelyn Laye and Mary Leigh. Footage is seen as if inside an antique picture frame: Evelyn Laye & Mary Leigh in schoolgirlish dresses dancing in cottage garden. Next, a line of men dressed as "Beaux" walk by to rt., entering fancy interior. A line of Victorian girls in frilly ruffles follow. Wider shot looking down at the interior: the girls all drop low curtsies and the Beaux bow low. A woman enters from upstage. as she walks down center the guests all rise. Next wide shot looking straight at stage: Betty, played by Evelyn Laye, suddenly drops her huge hoop skirt! Underneath she's wearing a knee-length lacy thing. Then all the other girls drop their skirts too!!! How risque! They all start skipping around in a circle. The gentlemen seem completely nonplused. (theatre, comedy, actresses) | |
