Camera Interviews - Tommy Handley The Famous Radio & Revue Star (1928)

“Hobbies?“ said Tommy, “I’ve for the ’piece of resistance’ give me gardening... I love it...“ C/U of Tommy Handley in his garden holding garden tools and with a hose pipe wound around his neck. L/S of Tommy stumbling along in his garden, he throws all the tools down and pretends to be tangled up in the garden hose. “All the great beans you read about are... nothing. You should see what happens when I plant my special 5 K.W. Oscillating Radio beans.“ Tommy pretends to plant some beans. He sits down in a garden chair. “If you doze off for a moment, these beans come up and speak for themselves.“ Through a camera trick suddenly little funnel shaped things appear in the grass. Tommy jumps up in surprise. “Talk about Jack and the ought to hear these ’beans talk’..!“ Tommy gets his watering can out and sprinkles water on the funnel things. “Garden Hose is my stock-in-trade“ but this hose must have a ladder in it somewhere..“ (This is really getting too “punny“!)“ M/S
