| Description: | Same as catalog # 201996 MAX WALL Comedian Max Wall tells a variety of jokes, does some impressions and sings a few songs. London Max Wall enters, prancing about and 'singing' how he has a smile to take him on his way. This is a crazy dance. He realises the (off screen) orchestra have stopped playing and, saying he 'won't bother' turns to walk off. Voices call him back. He begins his routine. He makes a pun on his surname 'Wall'. He then does impersonations of Edmund Everett Horton and a cocker spaniel. He next tells a story about a bee that is swallowed by a donkey. He then sings a song in a North Country accent. It concerns 'Harold' who is a 'bit of a comic' and tells jokes and stories to cheer people up. Max Wall pulls faces as he sings. (There is a verse about an air raid shelter). | |
