Cavalcade of Variety

Made by Butchers Film Distributors to support a main feature. We are fortunate that such films survive,as similar films from the thirties,e.g.In Town Tonight,are lost.

We are given an insight into what people were watching in cinemas and music halls in 1940. Now some of it may not seem fantastic to our eyes,I am sure if they could see some of the rubbish that passes as entertainment today, they would be similarly inclined.

The show is mcd by Peter Probably the worst ventriloquist of all time. He found fame on radio with Educating Archie. I remember being taken to a stage show featuring him. Watch his lips move.
