Wilson, Keppel and Betty - ’London Clubs and Cabarets - Trocadero Restaurant’ in PT 164. This is duplicate section from the above story. We join the story when a small group of girls are dancing in a chorus line on the stage. Intertitle: ’A smile with Wilson & Keppel’. L/Ss of Wilson and Keppel doing their famous Egyptian comedy sand dance. The both wear little tunics and Egyptian head-dresses. It’s very funny. Man backstage looks through curtain. Intertitle reads: ’And Wilson, Keppel & Betty “break in“ - ’. Wilson and Keppel do a funny dance up and down some steps on the stage (to a kind of hoe-down tune), then Betty (in sparkly and skimpy two-piece costume) joins them for a fast finale to their act, danced to ’Tiger Rag’. One cutaway shot shows a man backstage zipping up a mask on his head so he looks like an African man. Intertitle reads: ’And the grand finale brings down the curtain - ’. Woman in a white tuxedo with top hat and cane walks on stage and strikes a pose. Curtain is drawn back to show a line of men in evening dress, top hats and canes (and African face masks) standing in the same pose, ready to start dance finale.
