  • It was actually 1952 if you check out the pathe site you see. (Google British Pathe Variety Club Luncheon - Reel 1 & Reel 2 1952.) It was at the Empress Club, London.

  • @one4all1000 PS it was on the 19th January 1952 by the way. Best regards.

  • Lovely to see the great Freddie Mills at his very best

  • haurel and lardy! haha

    thanks for posting this.

    incredible though that idiot eamon andrews asking them which one is hardy and which one is laurel! unbelievable really

  • Apparently Reels 1 and 2 are raw footage taken more or less at the same time by two somewhat inept Pathe cameramen at the same event. Aside from framing problems, they seemed to have a habit of starting each shot right after the speech or action had ended. One wonders if the sound for Reel 1 (which would enhance it greatly) is lost or not. At least Reel 2 identifies the clown as "Koko." Too bad so much footage was wasted on people other than L&H. Also odd to see Stan and Babe smoking.

  • Variety Club Luncheon, Empress Club

    London - Pathé Newsreels 1952 - UK
