Jack Warner And Jeff Darnell (1940)

Titles read: “Now Pathetone Re-introduces You To Another Famous Radio Star - JACK WARNER with his original partner JEFF DARNELL in a typical number“. London, probably Pathe Studios. Various shots of Jack Warner (with a moustache!) and Jeff Darnell in evening dress, singing a song called ’Just A Pair of Foreign Legionnaires’. They both put on French Legion caps for the song; Jack puts on a French accent, Jeff doesn’t - he plays the piano. They sing a chorus in French then engage in a bit of comic patter about the cost of marriage. Note: some short sections of sound are missing. This song originally appeared in Pathetone 344, along with another number or sketch - ’Cookhouse Call’ - which is currently missing. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
