On looking at this and your other clip "Music Hall Cavalcade" I am pretty sure the chap dancing with the bowler and cane (who is in both) is Tom Leamore - possibly singing his hit "Percy From Pimlico". His mane appears on the bandparts in the other clip.

@fivnten Many thanks for this. We are sure that it is Tom Leamore. I have recently received photographs of Tom from his Grandson, David, following a reply to his post on The Royal Zanettos discussion forum. Although in the photographs Tom Leamore is with white hair, it is most definately him. We too also noted his name on the bandparts in "Music Hall Cavalcade". Next job is to get the programme-as-broadcast records from the BBC Written Archive centre for details of the songs in this prog.
