| Description: | LONDON'S FAMOUS CLUBS AND CABARETS - THE ACE OF SPADES CLUB Very good footage of the 'Ace of Spades Club', London. "To be precise on the Kingston By-Pass Road, about 12 miles from Piccadilly, where despite the midnight hour, we found dancing in full swing." Good L/S's and M/S's of ladies and gentlemen dancing at the club. "Everybody knows Eve would rather be dead than unfashionable - so we just had to take the mannequin Parade of their very latest 'Glenny' modes." L/S's and M/S's of models displaying some very glamorous dresses, they are watched by a very upper class looking audience who are seen drinking wine and smoking cigarettes. "Then in came Norman Long with just a smile and a joke for us." L/S's of Norman Long leaning against a piano telling several jokes to the audience. "And now for the famous Continental Dancers - Gerlys & Lysia." L/S's of Gerlys & Lysia, performing several twists, turns and lifts. Lysia wears a spectacular long frilly dress. Several very good shots of young ladies seated at tables smoking and socialising whilst they watch the proceedings. | |
