| Description: | PEEPS AT "MAYFAIR AND MONTMARTRE" AT NEW OXFORD THEATRE, LONDON Extracts from an elaborate stage production including the super sexy Delysia chained to a ledge! London "Charles Brooks flavours a South Sea Isles' Dance with acrobatics - " South Sea Island dance - Charles Brooks doing acrobatics in front of a chorus of dancers in grass skirts. M/S of a small stage. Chorus girls in fringed skirts and long haired wigs do a little dance and Charles Brooks dances in front of them in a comedy fashion. He does cartwheels. "I see you're back again" Mabel Green might have been singing. M/S of Mabel Green on stage with the chorus surrounding her. Mabel Green stands at edge of stage singing a song while just behind her are 2 rows of women in long backless gowns. They hold large feather fans. They turn and crouch down then stand up, lifting their fans high in the air. Wider shot: the women all turn to face front and raise big feather fans. "And a change from to-day is an old world dance by Joyce Barbour" M/S of the stage as Joyce and some members of the chorus dance around. Joyce Barbour and others in medieval costumes doing a very lively dance. "In a Legend of Old Peru, the Inca King's daughter (Delysia, the Dainty,) and her lover, (Stowitts) die together in the heat of the Sun God" Skit with theme of Inca human sacrifice. Lots of people dressed as Incans in all sorts of wild costumes running about the stage. Priests in long dark robes and circles on their heads, other people in what look like giant hats. More dancing on stage with a large costume representing the sun god. M/S of Delysia in chains. MS the princess (sacrificial victim) writhes around, chained to wall. She wears a fantastic revealing costume which seems to be made of metal. She writhes around in a suggestively sexual manner. M/S of the whirling dance of the Sun God. Stowitts rushes onto the stage to rescue the Inca King's daughter. M/S of Delysia straining against her bonds. M/S of the stage showing Stowitts climbing down to his lover. Great shot of their embrace, he kisses her. He jumps down onto the ledge she is standing on and kisses her passionately. (looks a bit like the Klimt painting The Kiss) L/S of the stage - the Sun God is running up the steps behind our two lovers. | |
