it6s nice to remember humor that was clean ,inoccent and funny, unlike todays sick humour. we were all so happy in those days.

There is a definite diference in humor style of Mother Riley from the 1930's to the 1950's.

I remember my Mum introducing me to these films when they were on television, crikey, they seemed old then and this was the mid 50's!! We used to sit there laughing at them, I would be about eight or nine. Forgotten just how funny Arthur Lucan was as Old Mother Riley. I am sure there were a few Old Mother Riley Films?

This is part of the music hall sketch known as 'Brigettes Night Out', performed by Lucan and McShane. However, I have seen other variations of it, so this is not the only surviving film recording of that sketch.

This version is possibly taken from the original Old Mother Riley film, variously known as 'Old Mother Riley' or as 'The Return of Old Mother Riley', but it might be from the 1934 Royal Command Performance.

It's a pity the soundtrack is a half-second ahead of the film.

Can someone please syncronise this better?
