Variety Artists Leave For South Africa (1938)

Southampton, Hampshire. Aboard the liner ship ’Balmoral Castle’ we see a group of young boys, the Hungarian Gypsy Boys from Budapest playing their violins. Comedienne Renee Houston and singer Donald Stewart pose with the boys. Donald remarks to Renee that she’ll have fun with all these boys around; she replies that Donald needn’t be jealous as one of them (a very short boy) will never reach her. Various shots of the ship carrying the variety artists leaves the harbour for a tour of South Africa. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
