| Description: | SHORT SHOTS FROM THE SHOW'S THE THING Extracts from the Victoria Palace revue "The Show's the Thing" starring Gracie Fields and Archie Pitt (although they don't seem to feature in this extract). Wide shot looking at stage. Set is of a man and 4 chorus girls standing on a decorated platform; the man is talking to a crowd, like a carnival show barker. The girls come down from the platform and dance downstage. Closer shot, from just in front of stage looking up at the dancers' high kicks - including a flash of their ruffled "knickers". Ooh- -sexy! Wide shot 2 lines of chorus girls dancing in front of curtain. Ends w/ very brief fragment from beginning of next scene. | |
