‘Variety Acts and Turns Of The Mid 1930s’ is a nostalgic celebration of a rich
diversity of Variety entertainers; balancing acts, jugglers, dance bands and
jazz bands, organists, strongmen, comedians, musicians, dancers – modern and
ballet, roller-skaters, actors, singers and even a ‘Bird Circus’. Artistes
include the Mantovani Orchestra, comedian Bert Weston, Arthur Askey, double act
Bennett and Williams, actor Tod Slaughter, Naunton Wayne, Ronald Frankau,
Leslie Henson, Bob and Alf Pearson and many, many more.
In the mid
1930s, Pathé developed its filming of variety acts by building elaborate sets
for their performances. Often, these studio performances would be mixed into
filmic ‘dream sequences’ to enhance their impact. Camera interviews with
selected stars also added another new dimension.
